🌊 Psalms 20

Psalms 20 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.” Psalms 20 opens with these words: “May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,” The line to keep is Psalms 20:7: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God.” Carry the word “trust” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 20:7: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 20? Then try this: Read “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
