How 'bout this:

regression=# SELECT s.a[p.i[1]] || s.a[p.i[2]] || s.a[p.i[3]] ||
s.a[p.i[4]] || s.a[p.i[5]] AS "The Best" FROM (SELECT
ARRAY['gre','S','Post',chr((ascii('X')::bit(32) #
9::bit(32))::int),'L']) AS s(a), (SELECT
string_to_array('3,1,2,4,5',',')::int[]) AS p(i);
   The Best
------------
  PostgreSQL
(1 row)
