When trouble looms and you feel outnumbered or overwhelmed, where do you place your trust? Psalm 20 is a call to prepare for battle by trusting in the name of the Lord. It reminds you that your confidence shouldn’t rest in chariots, horses, or human strength—but in the name, nature, and power of your God.

Then Psalm 21 answers with praise after the victory. It’s a coronation psalm, a celebration of God’s deliverance and faithfulness. David lifts his voice in gratitude for answered prayer and divine protection. And woven through both psalms is a prophetic thread that points to Jesus Christ, the King of Kings.

These psalms give you a strategy for living: trust before the storm, and praise after the rescue. They prepare you to pray with confidence, endure with strength, and rejoice in the sovereignty of your victorious Lord.

Whether you’re stepping into battle or stepping out of one, these truths will refocus your heart. You’re not trusting in luck or chance. You’re walking behind the banner of your King.

Lift your eyes, raise your voice, and live with confidence—because your King lives and reigns forever.
