“May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high, send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion, remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah. May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your counsel. We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests. Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Jehovah our God. They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright. Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call!” (Psalms 20, NHEBJE)

From the commentary King Comments (Psalm 20):

Three times in this psalm the remnant appeals to “the name” (Psa 20:1b; 5; 7). Here is the first time. That God is “the God of Jacob” indicates that He will fulfill all the promises He has made to Jacob, despite the many times Jacob has been unfaithful. This is a great encouragement to the remnant who are also aware of their own unfaithfulness. It is also a great encouragement to us, who are also so often unfaithful, that God will fulfill all His promises. The place on high gives the assurance that no one can make His king or anyone of His own miss the fulfillment of His promises.
