Psalms 21
21
Through Your Strength
For the end times, to the Pure and Shining One
David’s poem of praise # 21 Think of this song as a praise song to Jesus, our true King.
Looking Back
1Yahweh, because of your strength the king is strong.
Look how he rejoices in you!
He bursts out with a joyful song because of your victory!
2For you have given him his heart’s desire,
anything and everything he asks for.
You haven’t withheld a thing from the king.
Pause in his presence
3Rich blessings overflow with every encounter with you,
and you placed a royal crown of gold upon his head.
4He wanted life # 21:4 This can be viewed as a prophecy of our Lord Jesus asking for resurrection-life. Every verse of this psalm is prophetic, pointing us to Jesus. —you have given it to him and more!
The days of his blessing stretch on one after another, forever!
5You have honored him and made him famous.
Glory-garments are upon him,
and you surround him with splendor and majesty.
6Your victory heaps blessing after blessing upon him.
What joy and bliss he tastes, rejoicing before your face! # 21:6 Or “You make him joyful in joy with your face!”
7For the king trusts in Yahweh,
and he will never stumble, never fall.
The forever-love of the Most High holds him firm.
Looking Forward
8Your almighty hands have captured your foes.
You uncovered all who hate you and you seized them.
9-10When you appear before them,
unveiling the radiance of your face,
they will be consumed by the fierce fire of your presence.
Yahweh’s flames will swallow them up.
They and their descendants
will be destroyed by an unrelenting fire.
11We will watch them fail,
for these are the ones who plan their evil schemes against the Lord.
12They will turn and run at the sight of your judgment-arrows
aimed straight at their hearts.
Looking Up
13Rise up and put your might on display!
By your strength we will sing and praise your glorious power!

PSALM 21
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
1The king in thy great strength, O Lord,
shall very joyful be:
In thy salvation rejoice
how veh'mently shall he!
2Thou hast bestowed upon him
all that his heart would have;
And thou from him didst not withhold
whate'er his lips did crave.
3For thou with blessings him prevent'st
of goodness manifold;
And thou hast set upon his head
a crown of purest gold.
4When he desired life of thee,
thou life to him didst give;
Ev'n such a length of days,
that he for evermore should live.
5In that salvation wrought by thee
his glory is made great;
Honour and comely majesty
thou hast upon him set.
6Because that thou for evermore
most blessed hast him made;
And thou hast with thy countenance
made him exceeding glad.
7Because the king upon the Lord
his confidence doth lay;
And through the grace of the most High
shall not be mov'd away.
8Thine hand shall all those men find out
that en'mies are to thee;
Ev'n thy right hand shall find out those
of thee that haters be.
9Like fiery ov'n thou shalt them make,
when kindled is thine ire;
God shall them swallow in his wrath,
devour them shall the fire.
10Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy,
their seed men from among:
11For they beyond their might 'gainst thee
did plot mischief and wrong.
12Thou therefore shalt make them turn back,
when thou thy shafts shalt place
Upon thy strings, made ready all
to fly against their face.
13In thy great pow'r and strength, O Lord,
be thou exalted high;
So shall we sing with joyful hearts,
thy power praise shall we.
