Psalm 20 has Three Stanzas:
Stanza 1 (verses 1-4) Prayer for God's help
Remember the foundational covenental promises
May He grant you your heart's desire:
NOT Health-Wealth-Prosperity message
Means a heart changed - Holy Spirit conviction - All the old swept away - a life melded with God's desires.
Stanza 2 (verse 5) Praise
Praising God ALL the time - day by day
Saying "Look at what He's done!"
Stanza 3 (verses 6-9) Proclamation
Testimonies of what He's done
Will you put your confidence in chariots or horses?
-symbols of power - prosperity - military prowess
-today's symbols - competent people - American spirit
Will you put your confidence in the Lord your God?
-It's a choice
