Psalm 21
Concise Complete
Thanksgiving for victory. (1-6) Confidence of further success. (7-13)
Verses 1-6 Happy
the people whose king makes God's strength his confidence, and God's salvation
his joy; who is pleased with all the advancements of God kingdom, and trusts God
to support him in all he does for the service of it. All our blessings are
blessings of goodness, and are owing, not to any merit of ours, but only to
God's goodness. But when God's blessings come sooner, and prove richer than we
imagine; when they are given before we prayed for them, before we were ready for
them, nay, when we feared the contrary; then it may be truly said that he
prevented, or went before us, with them. Nothing indeed prevented, or went
before Christ, but to mankind never was any favour more preventing than our
redemption by Christ. Thou hast made him to be a universal, everlasting blessing
to the world, in whom the families of the earth are, and shall be blessed; and
so thou hast made him exceeding glad with the countenance thou hast given to his
undertaking, and to him in the prosecution of it. The Spirit of prophecy rises
from what related to the king, to that which is peculiar to Christ; none other
is blessed for ever, much less a blessing for ever.
Verses 7-13 The
psalmist teaches to look forward with faith, and hope, and prayer upon what God
would further do. The success with which God blessed David, was a type of the
total overthrow of all Christ's enemies. Those who might have had Christ to rule
and save them, but rejected him and fought against him, shall find the
remembrance of it a worm that dies not. God makes sinners willing by his grace,
receives them to his favour, and delivers them from the wrath to come. May he
exalt himself, by his all-powerful grace, in our hearts, destroying all the
strong-holds of sin and Satan. How great should be our joy and praise to behold
our Brother and Friend upon the throne, and for all the blessings we may expect
from him! yet he delights in his exalted state, as enabling him to confer
happiness and glory on poor sinners, who are taught to love and trust in him.
