Psalms 20:5 Summary
Psalms 20:5 is a verse about trusting in God's power and celebrating His victories in our lives. It means that when we trust in God, we can be confident that He will answer our prayers and give us what we need, as promised in Matthew 7:7-8. We can show our trust by living a life that honors God and by sharing our faith with others, just like the Psalmist is doing in this verse. By doing so, we can experience the joy and freedom that comes from knowing God is with us and for us, as stated in Romans 8:31.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'shout for joy at your victory' in Psalms 20:5?
This phrase means to rejoice and celebrate when God gives us victory, just like the Israelites did when God fought for them in the book of Exodus, as seen in Exodus 15:1-21. It's a call to trust in God's power and provision.
How can we 'raise a banner in the name of our God' today?
Raising a banner in the name of God is a symbol of worship, praise, and proclamation of God's greatness, similar to what is described in Psalms 100:4. We can do this by living a life that honors God, sharing the Gospel with others, and giving thanks to Him in all circumstances, as instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
What kind of 'petitions' is the Psalmist referring to in this verse?
The Psalmist is likely referring to prayers and requests made to God, similar to those mentioned in Philippians 4:6. These petitions can include anything from personal needs to requests for God's guidance and wisdom, and the Psalmist is expressing confidence that God will answer them.
How can we apply the confidence expressed in Psalms 20:5 to our own lives?
We can apply this confidence by trusting in God's power and provision, just like the Psalmist, and by remembering that God is our rock and our salvation, as stated in Psalms 62:2. This trust should lead us to pray boldly and live with hope and expectation, knowing that God is able to do more than we ask or think, according to Ephesians 3:20.
Reflection Questions

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 20:5
We will rejoice in thy salvation,.... That is, "so will we", c. or "that we may" (p), c.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 20:5
We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. We will rejoice. From prayer he passes to the confident anticipation of faith.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 20:5
We will rejoice: hereby they show their confidence in God, and their assurance of the victory. In the name of our God, i.e. to the honour of God, as the Conqueror. We will set up our banners, in way of triumph; which among other ways was celebrated by the setting up of banners or trophies.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 20:5
Psalms 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.Ver. 5. We will rejoice in thy salvation] i.e. We are well assured that God will save us by thee, O king; and that shall produce a general joy among us. This confidence prayer hath begotten in him; for it is a sure grain, and if man would sow more of it in God’ s bosom, they shall not fail to reap the fruit and comfort of it in their greatest need. Pray, that your joy may be full. And in the name of our God will we set up our banners] Our flags of defiance to the enemy, or our tokens of triumph to God’ s glory, who hath given us the victory. The Romans, when they had conquered an enemy, rode in triumph to the Capitol, where in all humility they presented a palm, or laurel bush, to Jupiter.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 20:5
(5) We will set up our banners.—Rather, we will wave our banners. (Comp. Son 6:10.) The whole army, or their representatives, assembled in the Temple courts, raise the encouraging shout.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 20:5
Verse 5. We will rejoice in thy salvation] We expect help from thee alone; it is in thy cause we engage; and to thee, as our war is a just one, we consecrate our banners, inscribed with thy name. It is said that the Maccabees had their name from the inscription on their banners; which was taken from Exodus 15:11, מי כמכה באלם יהוה mi camochah baelim Yehovah, "Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods?" The word being formed from the initial letters מ M, כ C, ב B, י I, מכבי Ma Ca B I, whence Maccabeus and Maccabees. The words of this verse were spoken by David and his officers; immediately after which I suppose the high priest to have added, The Lord fulfil all thy petitions!
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 20:5
5. The prayer is still continued. Let us (or, That we may) shout for joy at thy salvation; Jehovah Himself was Israel’s Saviour (Psalms 21:1; 1 Samuel 10:19), and the king was His chosen instrument for saving His people (2 Samuel 3:18). set up our banners] Rather, wave them in token of triumph, than set them up as a memorial of the victory. The cognate substantive is specially used of the standards of the tribes (Numbers 1:52; Numbers 2:2 ff.). Cp. Son 6:4; Son 6:10. The LXX however has, we shall be magnified. petitions] Cp. Psalms 21:2.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 20:5
We will rejoice in thy salvation - According to the idea of the psalm suggested in the introduction, this is a response of the king and those associated with him in going forth to battle.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 20:5
5. Salvation—The deliverance, or victory, given by God. Set up our banners— “We shall have a triumphant procession upon the victory, with shouts, and banners displayed.”—Mudge.
