诗篇 20:4

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 20:2-4

God the Father promised to be with his Christ through the whole of his undertaking. Psalms 89:22 , etc. But observe how the church hath an eye to the merits of Jesus's obedience and sacrifice. And what the heart's desire of Jesus was, is read to us in every part of the Bible. The promises of God are also in covenant to the same. Psalms 21:2 ; Isaiah 53:10 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 20:4

Sweetness. Hebrew, "of goodness," the effects of thy mercy. (Haydock) --- Thou hast made David a king according to thy own heart, and granted him victory, and many favours, even before he had asked for them. The humanity of Jesus Christ was still more glorified, (Calmet) by a gratuitous predestination." (St. Augustine, Pr'e6dest. 30., Persev. 24., &c.) --- Stones. Hebrew, "fine gold or the topaz," Psalm xviii. 11. (Berthier) --- David took the crown of Melchom, weighing a talent, 2 Kings... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 20:1-9

Prayer in Time of War. To the chief musician, a psalm of David, evidently composed to be sung by the Tabernacle chorus while the king and his army were in the field, the purpose being to implore Jehovah to grant victory to the arms of Israel. The chorus as such opens the hymn. v. 1. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble, graciously and attentively listening to the king's call when he would find himself in a difficult and dangerous position; the name of the God of Jacob, the mighty God of... read more

Psalms 20:0To the chief musician, a Psalm of David1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble;The name of the God of Jacob defend thee;2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,And strengthen thee out of Zion;3 Remember all thy offerings,And accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.4 Grant thee according to thine own heart,And fulfil all thy counsel.5 We will rejoice in thy salvation,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:The Lord fulfil all thy petitions.6 Now... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 20:1-9

the Saving Strength of God’s Right Hand Psalms 20:1-9 This may have been written on such an occasion as 2 Samuel 10:1-19 . The prayer of the soldiers, Psalms 20:1-4 . Ready, drawn up for the battle, they salute their king. God’s name is His character. The God of Jacob cannot forsake us, though we are unworthy as the patriarch. “Thou worm Jacob!” Isaiah 41:14 . The resolve, Psalms 20:5 . Our banners may wave proudly in the breeze, but all is vain if God be not our trust. The Lord is our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 20:1-9

This and the next psalms are certainly closely connected. The first is the prayer of the people on behalf of the king as he goes forth to battle. The first five verses were sung in chorus and express the consciousness of the supreme need in this day of trouble. The foes are gathered, the battle must be fought. Help must come from the sanctuary and strength from Zion. In the name of God the banners must be set up. The next verse is a solo. The voice of the king is heard announcing his... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 20:1-4

The Leading Intercessor Speaks To The People By Way Of Intercession (Psalms 20:1-4 ). We note here the singular ‘you’. The reference is probably to the whole people seen as one. Or it may be spoken to the king as representing the people. Either way it was probably spoken in the tabernacle/temple precincts while sacrifices were being offered (Psalms 20:3), in a day of trouble, possibly when news had come of raids on their territory and possibly more. We do not all suffer from those now, but we... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 20:1-9

XX. A prayer for deliverance from national disaster, changing (probably after the sacrifice has been offered) into confidence at Psalms 20:6; “ Now know I,” etc. The mention of a king or “ anointed one” would seem to place the Ps. in pre-exilic times, unless we are prepared to carry it down to the reign of Aristobulus I (p. 608), the first of the Maccabees who took the royal title (105 B.C.). Certainly the religious tone is in favour of a Maccabean date. Psalms 20:9 . Follow mg. read more
