This may have been written on such an occasion as 2 Samuel 10:1-19.

The prayer of the soldiers, Psalms 20:1-4. Ready, drawn up for the battle, they salute their king. God's name is His character. The God of Jacob cannot forsake us, though we are unworthy as the patriarch. "Thou worm Jacob!" Isaiah 41:14.

The king's voice, Psalms 20:6. Strength is plural, signifying the variety and infinity of God's resources, on which we may count.

The final chorus of the host, Psalms 20:7-9. As they look across the field, they contrast the might of their foes with their slender equipment. But as they gaze, those embattled hosts are dispersed, as clouds before a gale. Save! is the battle-cry. [source]
