Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 20:6

"Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand." — Psalms 20:6 (ASV)

Now I know. —Better, now I know that Jehovah has saved His anointed, that is, the king who is the subject of the poem, as it would be out of keeping with the rest of the poem to understand “Israel” or the “ideal” king here. The now is emphatic. After seeing the sacrifice performed, and feeling sure of its acceptance, this confidence is expressed.

From His holy heaven. —The prayer in Psalm 20:2 mentioned the sanctuary as the residence of the Divine power, and its symbol, the ark, being deposited there (1 Samuel 4:4). The inspiration now expresses an even higher conviction. The manifestation of help will not be through any earthly symbol of God’s might, but immediately from His dwelling-place on high.

With the saving. —Better, with the might of the help of.
