Commentary on Psalms 20:6

Theological / Devotional

Now know I. Verses 6–8 constitute the response of the king or perhaps of a Levite speaking alone. The change in pronoun from “thee” and “we” of vs. 1–5 to “I” is best explained in this way. What was hoped for in the petition of the congregation is now an established fact.

Anointed. See on Ps. 2:2.

Hear. Literally, “answer.”

His holy heaven. Literally, “heaven of his holiness.”
