Psalms 20: A Prayer for the King Before Battle

The people pray that God will answer, protect, and grant victory to their king in a time of trouble. A voice then declares confidence that God will rescue His chosen king, contrasting those who rely on chariots and horses with those who trust in God's name, and the psalm ends with a plea to save the king.
