Study of Psalm 20-Verse 3 & 4

 3 May He remember all your meal offerings

And accept your burnt offering! Selah

4 May He grant you your heart’s desire

And fulfill your whole plan!

Verse 3

Meal offering was also called a grain offering or in the KJV Meat offering. This type of offering was not one that was used with blood. In Hebrew, it is referred to as Korban Minchah which means to give a present. in one text I read it says give a present to God.

Burnt offering- It was an offering meant for the atonement of sins. This kind of offering was used with animals that were sacrificed and then put on an altar to be burned as an offering to God. The highest order of sacrifice in the Old Testament was the Burnt offering. it was called olah in Hebrew.

4 And he looked at him intently and became terrified, and said, “What is it, lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and charitable gifts have ascended as a memorial offering before God. Acts 10:4

Then You will delight in] righteous sacrifices,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then bulls will be offered on Your altar. Psalm 51:19

Verse 4

We know that by the capital of He it is referring to God. May God grant you your Hearts desires. God wants to fulfill your whole plan according to this verse. In the heading of this psalm in My NASB Bible, it says prayer for victory over enemies, so it is safe to assume that it is talking about that kind of plan to have victory over enemies.  In my Bible says counsel or purpose (physical Bible).

2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah Psalm 21:2

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He will also hear their cry for help and save them. Psalm 145:19
