Psalms 20:2-4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Send thee help from the sanctuary Either from heaven, as it is expressed Psalms 20:6; or, rather, from the tabernacle in Zion, where the ark then was; toward which the Israelites directed their prayers, and from which God heard and answered them. Thus it is explained in the next clause. Remember Namely, with acceptance, as it follows; all thy offerings Offered either by thee, or by us thy people in thy behalf. And accept thy burnt-sacrifice Hebrew, ידשׁנה, jedasheneh, turn to ashes, by fire sent from heaven in token of acceptance, as was usual. Grant thee according to thy own heart That is, that good success which thy heart desires; and fulfil all thy counsels Thy present designs for the glory of God and the good of his and thy people.
