Psalm 20 – Prayer of Blessing

May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob defend you; may He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion; may He remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah

May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. The Psalmist is not wishing some good things upon the recipients of his prayer.
He certainly is not merely mouthing some meaningless verses but pronouncing a prayer blessing.
His prayers are based on his past personal experiences with a faithful God.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.

Often our prayers are powerless because we have a shaky confidence in our petition or intercession. We are trained to depend more on our own strength and knowledge rather than the omnipotence of God

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright. Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.
