This
is a psalm of praise from David in response to the victories God gave David. It
is a reminder to us to be always mindful of the many answered prayers God has
given us. Praise and worship must ever be in our minds and on our lips, as we
thank God every day for the good He has given us. Though not on the list of
messianic psalms, one can clearly see Jesus in it. Notice the reference to
salvation. Notice in whose strength it lies.
Psalm
21:1
O
LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he
exults!
We
think it is worldly things that will bring us happiness. We want good jobs,
nicer houses, cars and boats, the list goes on and on. Many turn to drugs, sex,
and alcohol to find the cure for the longing in their hearts, but it is being
in the presence of God for all eternity that will finally fill the desire in
us. Seek first the Kingdom and then these things will be given as well.
(Matthew 6:33)
Psalm
21:2-4
You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.

David
goes on to praise God and in this psalm, is a glimpse at the future for the
Christian.
Psalm
21:8-12
Your hand will find out all your enemies; your right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a blazing oven when you appear. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath, and fire will consume them. You will destroy their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from among the children of man. Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed. For you will put them to flight; you will aim at their faces with your bows.

The
Lord Jesus is coming back and when He does He will swallow our enemies, fire
will consume them.
Put
your faith in Christ. Sing and praise Him.

Amen!
