Psalm 21 (summary): O Lord, the king rejoices!

This another Davidic psalm for the director of music is a kingly royal psalm which celebrates God granting victories to the king, as well as rich blessing and long life. Thanks to God's goodness David's glory is great with splendour and majesty. The king, says the psalm, trusts in the "unfailing love of the Most High". The victory over his enemies is sure, says the psalm, as the wrath of the Lord will swallow up the enemies and even destroy their descendants. Thus the psalm ends on a jubilant note of praise and exaltation of the Lord.
