Psalms 20:9

Lord (Yahweh), save [give victory to] the king!
May he answer us on the day we call (when we raise our voices in prayer).
[With the certainty that the Lord will prevail.]
[Some see the first part as standing alone: "Lord, save." The next line then becomes a prayer that the king will answer the prayer. However, based on the context, this verse ties in with both verses 6 and 1. The king here is associated with "his anointed" in verse 6. The word day (Hebr. jom) is used twice in the psalm, here in the last verse and in the introduction, see verse 1. The day of distress becomes here in the conclusion the day of the answer to prayer.]
