Psalm 20 Summary:

Psalm 20 is a prayer for God’s protection and victory before going into battle. The people ask God to answer their king in the day of trouble, remember his sacrifices, and grant him success. The heart of the psalm declares that while others trust in weapons (“chariots and horses”), God’s people trust in His name. The psalm ends in confidence—enemies will fall, but God’s people will rise and stand firm, because the Lord saves His anointed.
