PSALMS (1-24, 26)

PS20:1 May Yehowah answer you in the Day of Distress,130
the Name of the God of Jacob you place out of reach [of your enemies].
PS20:2 May He send you help
out of His sanctuary, and sustain you out of Zion.131
130 Day of Distress: Compare Psalm 22.
PS20:3 May He remember every offering132
you make, and highly value your ascending-sacrifice. [Selah]131 Zion: Compare notes on Psalm 2:6, 7. [Acts 13:33] 132 Offering: Compare Hebrews 9:12.

of His own right hand.
