Psalm 20:5. “We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.” SET UP OUR BANNERS. Not in the name of powerful legions or the armies of the world, Will we ascribe our deepest prayer for defense from foes around! No, to the God of Jacob, who sits high on Zion’s throne; Our prayer is that we will direct to Him when enemies surround.
We rejoice in His salvation and our Defender’s holy name. Our aid comes from the highest Source, the dwelling place of God. We set our banners firmly, and our trust will never wane; He will send the help we need: deliverance by the Lord.
We will exalt his name to men as our banners we lift high. Our trust is not in the arms of men or the power they display. The chariots and the horses strong, of the foes we do defy; The name of the Lord of hosts, our God, will send them all away.
The power of His name delivers us and sets the captives free; Our prayers in His name to God make our trusting hearts rejoice. Our praise and our thanksgiving for such grace and liberty, We wave these banners to testify to our confidence in His Word.
We know the Lord will save His own; He listens when we call. We know He hears from heaven on high, saving with His strong right hand. We know that God is honored when His banners we unfurl; We will trust in the name of the Lord our God, for His name we choose to stand.
“O God our God: we have taken our stand in this land unfavorable to the kingdom of God. We trust in Thee alone – not in any device or scheme designed by men to look like the kingdom of God, but in the name of our God alone – we lift our banners to be seen by all around. We have no other name; we have no other person we put out confidence in, only in Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
