Psalms 20:6 - Exposition

Now know I. The employment of the first person singular marks a change in the speaker, and is best explained by supposing that either the high priest or the king himself takes the word. The offering of the solemn prayer ( Psalms 20:1-5 ) and of the sacrifices (see the comment on Psalms 20:3 ) has been followed by a full conviction that the prayer is granted, and the triumph of David assured. What was previously hoped for is "now known." That the Lord saveth (or, hath saved ) his anointed (comp. Psalms 18:50 ). He will hear him from his holy heaven ; literally, from the heaven of his holiness. With the saving strength of his right hand. God will hear him, i.e; and, having heard him, will help and defend him "with the saving strength of his right hand."
