Read Psalm Chapters 20 and 21
Key Verses: Psalm 20:4-5; 21:13…
20:1 “In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry.
May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
2 May He send you help from His sanctuary
and strengthen you from Jerusalem.
3 May He remember all your gifts
and look favorably on your burnt offerings.
4 May He grant your heart’s desires
and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory
and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.
6 Now I know that the Lord rescues His anointed king.
He will answer him from His holy heaven
and rescue him by His great power.
7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
8 Those nations will fall down and collapse,
but we will rise up and stand firm.
9 Give victory to our king, O Lord!
Answer our cry for help.
21:1 How the king rejoices in your strength, O Lord!
He shouts with joy because You give him victory.
2 For You have given him his heart’s desire;
you have withheld nothing he requested.
3 You welcomed him back with success and prosperity.
You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
4 He asked You to preserve his life,
and You granted his request.
The days of his life stretch on forever.
5 Your victory brings him great honor,
and You have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
6 You have endowed him with eternal blessings
and given him the joy of Your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord.
The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.
8 You will capture all Your enemies.
Your strong right hand will seize all who hate You.
9 You will throw them in a flaming furnace
when You appear.
The Lord will consume them in His anger;
fire will devour them.
10 You will wipe their children from the face of the earth;
they will never have descendants.
11 Although they plot against You,
their evil schemes will never succeed.
12 For they will turn and run
when they see your arrows aimed at them.
13 Rise up, O Lord, in all Your Power.
With music and singing we celebrate Your mighty acts.”
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, I call on Your name when I need to be strengthened. When I need help, I pray You will answer my cry. I will shout for joy Lord when I am victorious because You have answered my prayer for strength. Father, I pray that when I feel overwhelmed, when I feel the enemy’s oppression that You would release me from his grip and bring me success over all of his evil schemes. I am grateful to have Your Power to rely on, I sing praises to Your Name, the Name above all other names. Lord God, I celebrate Your mighty hand over my life. Give me victory as I cry out for help! I praise You, Lord! Amen.
