  Psalm 20  
     
 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

     
King James Version of the Bible
1 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.
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.
6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.1

Companion Psalms

Psalm 20, 21 are companion psalms of liturgical type, the former doubtless to be sung on behalf of the king as he was about to go to war; the latter to be sung on his victorious return.2
 

 

Division

Psalm 20 suggests antiphonal arrangement for the ritual of the service:
vs. 1-5 to be sung by the congregation,
vs. 6-8 by the king or perhaps a Levite,
v. 9 by the people.
