Commentary on Psalms 20:9

Theological / Devotional

Save, Lord. The LXX translates this verse, “O Lord, save thy king: and hear us in the day we call upon thee.”

The translation of the KJV seems to correspond with the beginning of the psalm, and expresses complete confidence in the heavenly King. This verse was probably sung by the congregation in reply to the solo voice of vs. 6–8.
