Okay, Table is a reserved keyword in all variants of SQL.
If you want to call a table Table, and use it in a statement, you have to tell your sql engine that it is an identifier. To do this you need to use Identifier Qualifiers.
for (MS SQL Server) TSQL use square brackets
SELECT * FROM [Table];
for MySQL use `
SELECT * FROM `Table`;
for Oracle and PostgreSQL use quotation marks,
these are standards compliant.
SELECT * FROM "Table";
for SQLite you can use any of the above, but quotation marks are prefered.
The Identifier Qualifiers tell the engine that this is an identifier (the name of an object.) Not the name of a keyword, even if they happen to be the same. Without your guidance the query engine can get confused and report an error, or worse, do something unexpected.
Using Identifier Qualifiers is good practice, even if the identifers are not keywords.
They better define statements for all parsers, including the fleshy kind.
Naming objects after keywords is generally considered bad practice. So you should try to avoid making identifers the same as keywords. The occasions when a reserved keyword is descriptive of the contents of a table are rare, see the footnote.
e.g. your table is not a Table of tables.
The problem and advice is not limited to Tables, Identifiers are required for all database objects inluding Schema, Views and the many types that exist, standard and vendor-specific.
Another form of good practice is to prefix Table indentifiers with a Schema identifier, this helps the query engine a little.
When including the Schema identifier, the identifer should be qualified,
for (MS SQL Server) TSQL use square brackets
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Table];
for MySQL use `
SELECT * FROM `dbo`.`Table`;
for Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite use quotation marks
SELECT * FROM "dbo"."Table";
even if your Schema is not named after a keyword, as should be the case.

Notable "gotcha's" include USER and ERROR, which seem to come up when designing systems.
Footnote:
There are occasions when using reseved words for object names may be semantically correct.
Consider the contrived example of an information system for a furniture shop. In this scenario, a table of tables (kitchen, garden, dining, apothecary etc.) may be correct. So, you could argue Table was the correct identifier.
If you always use Identifier Qualifiers, you won't get burned.
