Study of Psalm 20-verse 7,8 & 9

7 Some praise their chariots and some their horses,

But we will praise the name of the Lord, our God.

8 They have bowed down and fallen,

But we have risen and stood upright.

9 Save, Lord;

May the king answer on that day we call.

Verse 7

Praises- some Bibles say trust some say boast

When the word trust is used it is not in the Hebrew language, but it is the most translated word that they are talking about.

In the first part of seven, they are talking about using those things to reference war and going to war.

Praise- but we will remember the name, some versions use remember.

The second part of this verse references to remembering the Name of the Lord.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength. Psalm 33:17

8 With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 32:8

Verse 8

The first part of verse eight talks about what from I researched it is that they are talking about coming victory over the enemy and that the enemy will bow down.

But we have risen and stood upright- means that we stood at battle as conquers used to do.

11 The proud look of humanity will be brought low,
And the arrogance of people will be humbled;
And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. Isaiah 2:11

17 And the pride of humanity will be humbled
And the arrogance of people will be brought low;
And the Lord alone will be exalted on that day, Isaiah 2:11

24 24 When he falls, he will not be hurled down,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand. Psalm 37:24

Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine.
Though I fall I will rise;
Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a light for me. Micah 7:8

Verse 9

Save Lord- Yahweh saves.

Save the King

The second part of the verse is what I have read is for God to hear us for us to be delivered to deliver.

Strength by seeking Him in times when we need help.

7 Arise, Lord; save me, my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. Psalm 3:7

6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. Pslam 17:6
