Biblical Reflections

Psalms 20 and 21 form a pair of royal Psalms.  Psalm 20 is a prayer of supplication that LORD will give the king success in battle.  Psalm 21 is a prayer of thanksgiving for honoring the request in Psalm 20.
 
Psalm 20
 
1-5 – The congregation or nation speaking to the king asks the LORD to give the king success in battle. 
 
6-8 – The congregation speaks about the king; they proclaim their faith in the LORD alone to give the king victory. 
 
9 – Here is a final plea to the LORD to save the king in battle
 
Psalm 21
 
1-7 – We begin with a prayer of thanksgiving that the LORD has given the king success in battle.  Verse 7 is the stated assumption that the LORD’s blessing on the king is because the king trusts in the LORD.
 
8-12 – The congregation appears to be talking to the king and they declare their confidence in the king’s future success.
 
13 – The LORD is praised for his strength and power to give the king success in battle.
