Passage

Psalm 20:1-9

Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

20:1   May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
    May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2   May he send you help from the sanctuary
    and give you support from Zion!
3   May he remember all your offerings
    and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4   May he grant you your heart’s desire
    and fulfill all your plans!
5   May we shout for joy over your salvation,
    and in the name of our God set up our banners!
  May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!
6   Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
    he will answer him from his holy heaven
    with the saving might of his right hand.
7   Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8   They collapse and fall,
    but we rise and stand upright.
9   O LORD, save the king!
    May he answer us when we call.

Key Verse: Psalm 20:7

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

1. May the LORD bless you (1-5)

This psalm is a prayer for the king when he is about to go to battle. It is a prayer for one who trusts and worships the LORD faithfully. The name of the LORD is our protection. God sends help and support from his dwelling place. Notice all the ways they pray for the LORD's blessing, including protection, support and success.

2. The LORD gives victory to his anointed (6-9)

Victory comes from the LORD to those who trust in his name. Unbelievers trust in their own skill or strength or knowledge or experience, or even on science and technology. God's people trust in the name of the LORD. In whom or what will you trust today?

Prayer: Lord, we trust in you, not ourselves. Be glorified through all who trust in your name. Remind us that victory comes not by our brains or brawn, but in your name.

One Word: We trust in the name of the LORD our God
