Psalms 20:3 - Exposition

Remember all thy offerings . (On David's offerings, see 2 Samuel 6:13 , 2 Samuel 6:17 ; 2 Samuel 24:25 ; 1 Chronicles 15:26 ; 1 Chronicles 16:1 ; 1 Chronicles 21:28 ; 1 Chronicles 29:21 .) It is not to be supposed, however, that David ever sacrificed victims with his own hand, or without the intervention of a priest. And accept thy burnt sacrifice ; Selah . It is a reasonable conjecture that the "Selah" here marks a "pause," during which special sacrifices were offered, with a view of entreating God's favour and protection in the coming war (Hengstenberg).
