Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 20:1

This Psalm has been much used for coronation, thanksgiving, and fast sermons, and no end of nonsense and sickening flattery has been tacked thereto by the trencher-chaplains of the world's church. If kings had been devils, some of these gentry would have praised their horns and hoofs; for although some of their royal highnesses have been very obedient servants of the prince of darkness, these false prophets have dubbed them "most gracious sovereigns," and have been as much dazzled in their presence as if they had beheld the beatific vision. —C. H. S. Whole Psalm. A loyal song and prayer for subjects of King Jesus.

Two great mercies in great trouble —hearing at the throne, and defence from the throne.
