Psalm 20:1-9, ESV
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion! May he remember all your offerings and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions! Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. O LORD, save the king! May he answer us when we call.

Psalm 20:1-9, JN paraphrase
The LORD does answer me in a day of trouble, He protects me, He sends help from the Sanctuary and support from Zion. He remembers my offerings and my sacrifices. He grants my heart’s desires. He does answer my needs from His Holy Heaven with the saving might of His hand.

There are those who trust in modern armament, but I trust in the power of the Name of the LORD, God, the Almighty. I plead that those who govern will come to understand the power of that Name and turn to it in time of need.

Man – The Dwelling Place of God, by A. W. Tozer. From the preface: “The chapters in this book deal with many of the aspects of one subject: the relationship of God and man. They are above all practical and all who read them will profit.” Each chapter is short and easily adapted to a daily devotional. Try it! I find it fits well into my end of day devotionals.
