Psalms 20 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This psalm and the next, pair well together. The occasion of them, was the peril and deliverance of King Jehoshaphat as recorded in 2 Chronicles 20, which gives us a most appropriate historical situation. And the promise of victory, given by the prophet, gives an appropriate explanation of the change from petition to certitude in the two parts of the Psalm.

This is a psalm of David. How did old Jacob get in here? By the grace of God. God never was ashamed to be called the God of Jacob. We may have been ashamed of Jacob because of some of the things he did. But God was not. God saved Jacob by His grace.
