Day 21

PSALM 21: Answered prayer for the king

Have a look back in Psalm 20. What prayers from that psalm have been answered in Psalm 21?

How does the king and psalmists (‘we’ in verse 13) respond?

“As in other psalms for the king, the theological purpose of Psalm 21 is to subordinate the human king to the divine king. Everything the king is, has, and does comes from God. The royal person is cause and reason for praise, trust, and hope in God.” (James L Mays in his commentary on Psalms). What do you think?
