Psalm 20 is a short psalm written by David and talks about the prophecy of Jesus. It is written in the form of a prayer and it is interesting to note that when the prayer ends it is referring to a time when Jesus was praying and acknowledged that God always hears his prayer. There are other references here that talk about the salvation that Jesus will bring to all when David was praying for the salvation of Zion. Also, the hanging of Jesus when it talks about all of thy offerings in verse 3.
Psalm 21 is a beautiful psalm that shows the saving work of Jesus and the punishment that waits for those that turn their backs on this work ! Verse 1 starts with praise of the Father, and goes right to the salvation work He wishes ! All the way to verse 7 talks about this work and all the glory to God. From there on to verse 12 David talks about a fiery oven awaits as punishment for those that do not accept or who wish harm to God !He talks about fire devouring them and their seed being eliminated and that God will have final judgement on ALL ! This psalm talks about the ascension of Jesus to heaven and the glory he brings to the Father. Selah.

Psalm 19
September 29, 2016
Different experts have divided this psalm into 2 or 3 different parts. I am not going to attempt that, but I do want us to take a look at the three different divisions that are talked about. The first part of psalm 19 talks about creation and the glory God brings to it. It is also interesting to note that God shows us the sun ( Son ) in the first part of this psalm when talking of creation ! The middle part of the psalm shows plainly that David is now going to give God glory by talking about the commandments given by God. By talking about how good the word is, we need to remember that right and wrong are decided by God's word and not by man !! How do we know if stealing is right and wrong ? Only by comparing our actions to God's word can we have any idea. This part of the psalm ends by telling us how valuable God's commands are.
The last part of this psalm talks about Jesus' work of salvation. David asks God to keep him from presumptuous sin. This means that David is being asked to be protected from thinking he is NOT a sinner ! David is saying that as long as he realizes he is a sinner, he will keep his attention on his thought and actions so as not to sin against God. How many people do you know that think they are pretty good people and are not sinners ? A lot I would guess. That is what David is asking for protection from..... and so should we !
