Knowing God In Psalm 20 (Feb 25)

O Lord Save Jehovah Hoshiah

Backgrounder: The Lord can be
seen in different roles in Ps 19-24.
He is the Creator (Psalm 19),
the Helper (Ps 20), the King (Ps 21),
Crucified One (Ps 22), the Shepherd
(Ps 23) & the Glorious One (Ps 24).
For each role, there is a related
responsibility for the people who
would follow Him as their God
and King, Shepherd and Sovereign.

Praise be to Jehovah Hoshiah:
May the Lord answer you in the day
of trouble; may (He) defend you.
May He send you help from
the sanctuary, and strengthen
you out of Zion (Psalm 20:1-2).
Some trust in chariots, and some
in horses; but we will remember
the name of the Lord our God…
Save Lord! (Jehovah Hoshiah)
May the King answer us
when we call (Psalm 20:7-9).

Lord Jehovah Hoshiah, You are
the God who saves Your people
from the miry pit and crowns
them with Your lovingkindness.
You hold all things together; and
You alone have the power to save.
Thank You for saving us from sins
by sending Your Son Jesus Christ.
And Thank You for saving us when
we call on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Lord, forgive us for not calling
on Your name in times of need.
Have mercy on us and restore
our hearts and minds to You.
I look to You Lord to save me
from the valley and ask You to
intervene and grant me grace
to trust You with the results.
Reverse the setback and bring
about blessing instead. Amen.

Lord Jehovah Hoshiah, look
with tender mercy and save.
Heal my wounds Lord and cover
them with Your loving grace.
Give me eyes to see where You’re
leading me and a compassionate
heart toward others who are
experiencing challenges of life.
And use me to encourage someone
as You have encouraged me. Amen.
