Psalm 20

Christ beheld and owned in the day of His sorrow, offering in their behalf. To the chief musician. A psalm of David.

Jehovah answer Thee in the day of distress:the name of the God of Jacob set Thee on high!

2. Send Thee help from the sanctuary, and uphold Thee out of Zion!

3. Remember all Thy offerings, and accept Thy burnt sacrifice. Selah.

4. Give Thee after Thy heart, and fulfill all Thy counsel!

5. We will joy aloud in Thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners:Jehovah shall fulfill all Thy requests.

6. Now know I that Jehovah it is who saveth His Anointed, with the saving power of His right hand.

7. Some of chariots, and some of horses; but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God,

8. They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright.

9. Save, Jehovah; let the King hear us when we call!

Notes.-(i) "The name of the God of Jacob:" Jacob's God is the God of grace whose " name " Christ's work declares and magnifies. Hence it involves the exaltation of Him who has done the work.

(2) Looked at as a work accomplished for Israel, out of Zion the help comes.

(9) Not only Jehovah, but the King also, delivered, becomes the Deliverer.
