Chapter Study & Analysis

Psalm 20 is a prayer for victory and divine support in the day of trouble. It emphasizes trusting in the name of the Lord rather than in military or human strength.

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

1. Trust in the Name: "Some trust in chariots... but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" (v. 7). In a crisis, our first instinct should be to lean on God’s character.
2. The Sacrifice of Prayer: Before the battle, there was an offering. We should "set up our banners" in the name of God, dedicating our projects and conflicts to Him.
3. Answering in the Day of Trouble: God is a present help. We can ask for His "saving strength" with the confidence that He hears from His holy heaven.

FORMAL PRAYER

O Lord, grant us Thy saving strength in the day of trouble. Help us to trust not in our own "chariots" or resources, but in Thy holy and powerful Name. Amen.
