I am using these paintings with reference to the banners which the men of David's time raised to the Lord (verse 5). ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Psalm 20 contains the mutual encouragements of David to his people and of the people to David. Some commentators place it at the time of the Syrian wars (2 Samuel 10:6-8; 1 Chronicles 19:7). David begins this Psalm by praying that his audience of readers and hearers would be blessed by the LORD. He asks that the LORD would hear them individually, (as indicated by the use of singular pronoun suffixes in the Hebrew), in the day of trouble and defend them. He asks that God would send them help and strengthen them. He asks that the LORD would remember all of their offerings and sacrifices. And he asks that the LORD would give them the desires of their heart (1-4). His friends respond by telling God that they will rejoice in the LORD's salvation and will set up their banners (engage in war) in the LORD' name. And, echoing David's prayer for them, they ask that the LORD would cause all of David's plans to prosper (5). Then David, speaking for the group and for himself, expresses his confidence that the LORD will save his anointed (a reference to himself as the anointed king) and will hear him, and save him. He says that some trust in chariots and horses, but they will remember the LORD. They who trust in chariots and horses are fallen; but they who trust in the LORD are risen and stand. His final petition, echoing David's opening blessing, is "Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call"(6-9). [ Sermons: Joe Morecraft III. William Still.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
