In ancient Israel, victories were seen as direct blessings from God, affirming His favor and presence with His people. The act of shouting for joy is a public expression of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's intervention. This mirrors the celebration seen in <a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15:1-21</a>, where Moses and the Israelites sang a song of victory after crossing the Red Sea. The victory here can also be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, which believers celebrate with joy.<p><b>and raise a banner in the name of our God</b><br>Raising a banner was a common practice in ancient warfare, serving as a rallying point for troops and a symbol of identity and allegiance. In this context, the banner represents the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the public declaration of His power and protection. The name of God signifies His character and authority, as seen in <a href="/exodus/17-15.htm">Exodus 17:15</a>, where Moses built an altar and called it "The LORD is my Banner." This act of raising a banner can also be seen as a prophetic symbol of Christ, who is lifted up as a banner for all nations (<a href="/isaiah/11-10.htm">Isaiah 11:10</a>).<p><b>May the LORD grant all your petitions</b><br>This phrase is a prayer for God to fulfill the desires and requests of the king or leader, reflecting a deep trust in God's ability to provide and intervene. In the historical context, kings often sought divine guidance and support before battles or significant decisions. The petitions likely include requests for wisdom, protection, and success. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God answering the prayers of His people, as seen in 1 <a href="/john/5-14.htm">John 5:14-15</a>, where believers are encouraged to have confidence that God hears and answers their prayers according to His will. This also points to Jesus Christ, who intercedes on behalf of believers, ensuring that their petitions align with God's purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to King David, this psalm is a prayer for victory and blessing, likely intended for use before battle.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation of Israel, God's chosen people, who would have been the recipients of this prayer for victory and divine favor.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, who is invoked for granting victory and answering prayers.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>While not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of the psalm suggests a setting of communal worship and prayer, possibly at the temple.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/v/victory_celebrations.htm">Victory Celebrations</a></b><br>The act of raising a banner and shouting for joy indicates a communal celebration of God's deliverance and victory.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/j/joy_in_god's_victory.htm">Joy in God's Victory</a></b><br>Believers are called to celebrate and find joy in the victories God grants, recognizing His hand in their successes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/public_declaration_of_faith.htm">Public Declaration of Faith</a></b><br>Raising a banner symbolizes a public declaration of trust and allegiance to God, encouraging believers to boldly proclaim their faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/prayer_and_petition.htm">Prayer and Petition</a></b><br>The verse emphasizes the importance of bringing our requests to God, trusting in His ability to answer according to His will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_worship.htm">Community Worship</a></b><br>The communal aspect of shouting for joy and raising a banner highlights the importance of corporate worship and shared faith experiences.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_sovereignty.htm">Trust in God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Believers are reminded to trust in God's sovereignty and His perfect timing in granting their petitions.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_20.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 20</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_lacks_context_if_psalm_20_is_david's.htm">Psalm 20 - If attributed to David, why is there no clear historical context to validate the promises and outcomes in this psalm?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_15_5_align_with_deut._23_20.htm">Psalm 15:5 forbids charging interest; how does this align with other Old Testament passages that allow interest to foreigners (e.g., Deuteronomy 23:20)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/psalm_20_7_vs._god's_battle_commands.htm">Psalm 20:7 - Does this portrayal of military reliance contradict biblical accounts where God commands battle preparations?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_140_10_show_mercy.htm">How does calling for coals of fire upon evildoers in Psalm 140:10 align with the concept of a merciful God?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/20.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">We will set up our banners.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">we will wave our banners. </span>(Comp. <a href="/songs/6-10.htm" title="Who is she that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?">Song of Solomon 6:10</a>.)
