What does Psalm 20:5 mean?

The congregation looked forward to celebrating David's victory over the enemy (Psalm 20:1–4). The victory would be achieved "in the name of our God." In other words, David and his army would act on God's behalf.

Numbers 2 describes the orderly arrangement of the tribes of Israel. They set up their camp tribe by tribe with each tribe displaying its unique banner. When Israel's army went into battle, each group carried its specific banner (Song of Solomon 6:4, 10). Exodus 17:15–16 tells us Moses built an altar and called it, "The LORD Is My Banner." He declared that "the LORD will have war with Amalek."

Here, we read further that the congregation prayed for a successful conclusion in response to David's petitions. Christians battle the Devil and his demons, but if we put on the whole armor of God, take the sword of the Spirit, and pray, we will be victorious (Ephesians 6:10–18).
