‏ Psalms 20:9

The Call for Salvation

As this last verse reads here, it is a possible translation. Yet it might be better to translate it with: “Save the king, O LORD. Answer us in the day we call” (this is how the Septuagint has translated this verse). Here we hear the remnant calling to the LORD. They are asking the LORD to deliver Him, their Messiah, by giving Him the victory (Psa 20:6). This brings us back to Psa 20:1b-4, where the people are interceding that the LORD will help the King in His battle.
