The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
All Commentaries on Psalms 20:1 Go To Psalms 20
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Hear thee, the Ruler; or Jesus Christ praying for his people. (Worthington)
Tribulation. War is always such. The victors themselves suffer, and many souls perish. (Calmet)
Name. The Messias, as the Jews often explain the expression, (Hooke, Prin.) or God himself, as others have it. Nomen ejus ipse. (Calmet)
The blessed Trinity is all one God. The name of the Lord is a strong tower, Proverbs xviii. 10. It was made known to Moses, to give him confidence, Exodus iii. 13. (Haydock)
Great was the honour conferred on the patriarchs, that God should be styled the God of Abraham! But ours is not less, since we are authorized to call Him Our Father. (Berthier)
