Psalms 20 and 21 from my new book:
Praying the Psalms: a modern interpretation
____________________
I present here a new perspective on the psalms. I have rewritten them from a New
Testament Christ-centered point of view. I did not try to capture the poetry of the
psalms – I leave that to more gifted writers – but I attempted to capture their message
with a more modern interpretation.

God bless,

ather, watch over your Jesus, our King of kings.
Strengthen him in his battle for souls. Continue to reward him for all the
sacrifices he made to fulfill your will. Grant Jesus his heart’s desire: that
all souls be saved. May we be among the cheering crowds in heaven as he
achieves the final victory. It was not our weapons or armies that saved us, but
the Lord our God. May we all meet Jesus at the gate and hear him say, "Well
done, my good and faithful servant… Let's celebrate together!" Matt 25:23
(NLT) Amen.

esus, our King of kings, rejoices over the victory
of his resurrection. Father, you have given him his heart’s desire: the renewal
of the covenant between man and his creator. You have restored life to Jesus, a
life that continues eternally. Thank you for the great gift of eternal life for
us as well. Jesus now reigns with you in heaven in mighty splendor and majesty.
May he go from victory to victory claiming souls for you. Thank you, Jesus, for
loving me so much. Amen.
