Psalms20

Psalm 20 is a prayer for the king in a time of trouble, seeking divine help, strength, and acceptance of his offerings. The people express confidence that the Lord will hear and save His anointed. They declare their trust in the name of the Lord their God, contrasting it with reliance on worldly power, and anticipate victory.

A Prayer for the King’s Deliverance

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:
2
Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.
3
Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. Selah:
4
And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:
5
That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

Declaration of Divine Confidence

6
Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

Trusting in the Name of the Lord

7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.
8
They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

Final Plea for Royal Salvation

9
Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
