May the Lord grant all your requests.

Psalm 20:1-9
May the Lord grant all your requests.
The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!  Answer us when we call!
Battle will soon be engaged. The people for the choir in the Temple invoke God's blessing.
A single voice (the king, perhaps prefiguring the Messiah) responds in confident trust. ANd the people offer an urgent prayer.
Why?
They are brought to their knees and fall, which are other religions did. But Christian may stand firm and rise up for the Lord is living God and protect us.
Some trust in chariots and horses, trust in the power of people or relationships of man, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Victory belongs to the Lord, it is the Lord let us victory.

上戰場前的禱告。
1)眾民對王的禱告: 表達眾民和王的關係很好，與神關係好。從聖所堅固，錫安、聖天都是神的居所。聖所是神與人同在的地方。即神藉著與人同在的方式、觀念，幫助、拯救我們。聖天是人無法到達的地方，是神親自走下來，親近我們。
誇勝，救護、拯救： 都是一樣的意思。
得勝是靠神，這是信心的禱告。面臨屬靈的爭戰，可以誇勝，樹立旌旗
2)王的回應：燔祭是核心，完全放下自己的心，獻為燔祭為基礎。全人全心由神來使用，也就是全然依靠神。沒有獻上自己、放下自己才能依靠主，才能得勝。

Pray to the Lord and answer us when we call for we are your anointed.
