Psalms 20:6
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
Psalms 20:6: "Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand."
This is a moment of clear experiential faith: the people recognize God’s saving action on behalf of “his anointed,” often understood as the king (and by extension, Israel). The phrase highlights the conviction that God hears from heaven and acts with saving power—the “right hand” imagery signals strength, authority, and victorious intervention.
This verse anchors divine election and protection within the broader covenant framework. It foreshadows the Messianic expectation—the anointed one whom God protects and empowers. It reinforces trust in a God who not only hears prayers but acts with saving power on behalf of his people.
In times of uncertainty, you can rest in God’s readiness to act for those who belong to Him. Reflect on how God has protected or guided you, and offer a prayer of gratitude for His saving reach. If you face obstacles, recall God’s past acts as assurance that He is able to intervene again.
