Psalms 20:1-5
Psalm 20
For the music director; a psalm of David.
20:1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble;
may the God of Jacob make you secure!
20:2 May he send you help from his temple;
from Zion may he give you support!
20:3 May he take notice of your offerings;
may he accept your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)
20:4 May he grant your heart’s desire;
may he bring all your plans to pass!
20:5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory;
we will rejoice in the name of our God!
May the Lord grant all your requests!
Philippians 2:4
2:4 Each of you should be concerned
not only
about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well.
Philippians 2:27
2:27 In fact he became so ill that he nearly died.
But God showed mercy to him – and not to him only, but also to me – so that I would not have grief on top of grief.
