Psalm 20 is a beautiful, priestly prayer for blessing and protection. Scholars believe this may have been a prayer the people of Israel prayed over King David before he went into battle and that David recorded their words in this psalm. The voice seems to switch within the psalm from the people of Israel to King David himself, making it more communal—as David and the people of God pray together for the Lord to act on David's behalf.
