1 | Boasting in the Name? | Ps 20:7 | Mommapbs | 217516 | ||
Why is boasting (trusting) in the Name of the LORD significant? Also, might this verse be referencing Israel's escape from the Egyptians (Ex 14-15)? See also Dt. 20:1 When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you. |

2 | Boasting in the Name? | Ps 20:7 | DocTrinsograce | 217539 | ||
Hi, Momma... Boasting in the Name of the Lord is significant for He is of infinite worth. Furthermore, it gives Him glory; i.e., it broadcasts His worthiness and attributes -- our primary purpose for being. As to Psalm 20... Below I have appended what Charles Spurgeon wrote about this Psalm. I hope it helps. In Him, Doc ---- We have before us a National Anthem, fitted to be sung at the outbreak of war, when the monarch was girding on his sword for the fight. If David had not been vexed with wars, we might never have been favoured with such psalms as this. There is a needs be for the trials of one saint, that he may yield consolation to others. A happy people here plead for a beloved sovereign, and with loving hearts cry to Jehovah, "God save the King." We gather that this song was intended to be sung in public, not only from the matter of the song, but also from its dedication "To the Chief Musician." We know its author to have been Israel's sweet singer, from the short title, "A Psalm of David." The particular occasion which suggested it, it would be mere folly to conjecture, for Israel was almost always at war in David's day. His sword may have been hacked, but it was never rusted. Kimchi reads the title, concerning David, or, for David, and it is clear that the king is the subject as well as the composer of the song. It needs but a moment's reflection to perceive that this hymn of prayer is prophetical of our Lord Jesus, and is the cry of the ancient church on behalf of her Lord, as she sees him in vision enduring a great fight of afflictions on her behalf. The militant people of God, with the great Captain of salvation at their head, may still in earnest plead that the pleasure of the Lord may prosper in his hand. We shall endeavour to keep to this view of the subject in our brief exposition, but we cannot entirely restrict out remarks to it. |
