Psalm 21:1-7 “For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head. He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever. His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him. For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence. For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.”

Is David instructing the people how to pray for Him (by the direction of God’s Spirit), or putting down their thoughts to music (still at the direction of God’s Spirit)? Either way, this seems to be in response to God’s answered prayers from Psalm 20.

There are certain similarities between David and us. Our greatest glory is the salvation we have in Christ. We are blessed forever because of our belief in Him. We experience gladness and joy through the presence of His Holy Spirit. And we trust in the Lord and recognize that His grace (“loving kindness”) makes it so we will never be moved!

John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”
