20:6 Anointed has the sense of being chosen, a title often related to Israel’s king who was chosen by God to rule over his people (2:2; 45:7). In 20:2 help comes from Zion, but here help comes from his holy heaven. Although the Lord dwelt among his people, his real domain from which he ruled was heaven (11:4; Is 66:1).
20:7-8 Human armaments were of no value if the Lord was not fighting because he and his armies were more numerous and powerful than any human army (68:17). He had no concern or need for human weapons (147:10).
20:9 This verse specifies the purpose of the psalm—that the king would experience victory. Only the Lord could grant this.
