Psalm 20 stands out as a unique Psalm. It is not a personal prayer as many of the psalms are but a corporate prayer for an individual. This psalm is about praying to our trustworthy God on behalf of our beleaguered and embattled brothers and sisters. From it we learn that prayer is not only for personal requests but a powerful resource for the needs of others. This is intercessory prayer, praying–interceding to God–on behalf of someone other than yourself.
