Psalm 21

21:1
For the music director; a psalm of David. O Lord, the king rejoices in the
strength you give; he takes great delight in the deliverance you provide.
2
You grant him his heart’s desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah)
3
For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head.
4
He asked you to sustain his life, and you have granted him long life and
an enduring dynasty.
5
Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor.
6
For you grant him lasting blessings; you give him great joy by allowing him
into your presence.
7
For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the Most High’s
faithfulness he is not shaken.
8
You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who
hate you.
9
You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear; the Lord angrily
devours them; the fire consumes them.
10
You destroy their offspring from the earth, their descendants from among
the human race.
11
Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not
succeed.
12
For you make them retreat when you aim your arrows at them.
13
Rise up, O Lord, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!

 

One thought:

 

We sing God praises, for the victory He has won through His chosen King and the dynasty that reigns forever.

 

Three questions:

 

Notice the first and last verse, who is rejoicing?

 

Do you rejoice when you hear what Jesus has done?

Prayer:

 

Acknowledge God as the source and reason for all joy.

Give thanks that we can rejoice because of the work of Christ and the blessings found in Him.

Give thanks for the joy set before us in the New Heavens and New Earth.
