02.021. Psalm 21

Psalms 21:1-13 To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David. In this song of thanksgiving, observe, (1.) All the joys, the honours, and happiness, of king David, founded in the perfections and gracious works of God, Psalms 21:1-6. (2.) Full assurance of the stability of David’s throne, and of the discovery and destruction of his implacable opposers, Psalms 21:7-12. (3.) Earnest supplications to God, for the exhilarating displays of his glory and power, Psalms 21:13. But chiefly, my soul, behold here, the everlasting honours, joys, happiness, and blissful influences of thy Redeemer! Behold how fixed in his kingdom and dignity, in the infinite, everlasting, and unchangeable wisdom, power, mercy, equity, goodness and truth of the Most High! Behold, what inexpressible vengeance kindles upon and destroys his Jewish, his Heathen, his Antichristian, and other incorrigible foes! ­ Rejoice my soul, in this God thy Saviour. Rejoice at the glory wherewith he is crowned: at the life granted to, and lodged in him; and in his being made blessings for evermore to men; blessings for evermore to me. And let the ruinous overthrow of his Jewish or other enemies, make me stand in awe to provoke him, by presumptuous refusal of him, or rebellion against him.
