Psalms

Chapter 20
{Commentary on the 2nd Philistine invasion of II Samuel 5 -
  Battle from the Mulberry Grove}

{Prayer for Battle Victory}
1~~{Title} To the chief musician {natsach} . . .
the psalm {mizmowr} of David:

Jehovah/God will answer you
in the day of pressure
  {here the pressure was two Philistine attacks in II Samuel Chapter 5
  both battle prayers of David were answered by God}.

The Name/Person/Reputation {shem} of the 'Elohiym/Godhead
of Jacob {Ya`aqob - name means 'to cheat' to 'defraud'}
will protect/defend you {sagab}.

{Note: Israel means 'Prince of God'. He started out as 'the deceiver'/'defrauder'/chiseler. It is God and the intake of His Word that makes the difference.}

2~~He {God} will send you help
from the tabernacle
  {mi qodesh - 'from doctrine resident in your soul},

and therefore, sustain/aid/refresh/strengthen {ca`ad}
you out of Zion {David's Pentagon - his military headquarters}.

{Note: David's doctrine in his soul came from the rituals of the tabernacle. This doctrine in his soul gave him absolute confidence in the Lord and in the Lord doing all that He promised for those who love Him. God promotes prepared believers. God honors His Viewpoint in the norms and standards of your soul.}

3~~He {God} will remember all of your {food} offerings
  {offerings are ritual that represents the Person of Christ},

and accept your 'burnt offerings' {`olah}
  {burnt sacrifice are ritual that represents the work of Christ on
  the cross - see the first 5 books of Leviticus for the full meaning
  of the offerings}.

Selah
  {Selah means singers rest and instruments play on -
  it is a picture of you resting while the Grace of God continues on}.

4~~He {God} will give to you
according to your 'right lobe'/heart
  {the real YOU - 'what you think, so you are'},
and fulfil your plan {of attack}.

{Note: An army must be fully trained to go through all kinds of dangers and difficulties.}

{Response of Jewish Army to David's SuperGrace Leadership}
5~~We {Jewish Army} will 'shout in celebration'
in your {battle} deliverance/salvation {y@shuw`ah}.

And in the Person/Name/Essence of our 'Elohiym/Godhead,
we will 'plant our colors/banners'
  {military idiom for victory is to plant the regimental colors}.

Jehovah/God shall fulfil all your {David's}
petitions {David's questions on tactical situation in battle}.

6~~At this time
  {after the victories over the Philistines in II Samuel 5},

I know/understand {yada`}
that Jehovah/God has delivered His anointed {David}.

He {God} will answer him {David}
from His 'holy heaven'
  {'God's Higher headquarters in heaven}
with the mighty deeds of the victory
of His right hand
  {Jesus Christ is God the Father's 'Right Hand' -
  Jesus Christ controls History -
  God the Father answers SuperGrace Prayers
  and He is responsible for the victories}.

{Philistines Depend on their Chariots and Horses - David Depends on God}
7~~These {the Philistines} . . . by chariots
  {basis of the strength of their military is the power of their
  chariots},
and some . . . {depend} in horses

but, in contrast,
we {David and his men} have been caused to remember
  {based on bible doctrine resident in our souls}
the Person/Name/Essence
of Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead.

{Note: RBT says in II Samuel 8:4 that this might actually have been written by David after the defeat of the Syrians.}

8~~They {the Philistines}
have been defeated/'brought down' {kara`}
and therefore are fallen.

But we 'have become stabilized'/are established'/'have risen' {quwm},
and we 'have restored {our nation}'/'stand upright' {`uwd}.

9~~Jehovah/God has delivered {yasha`} the king {David}.

Answer us when we call.
