Psalms 21 - Introduction - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

A.M. 2944. B.C. 1060.

The subject of this Psalm is the same with the former, both being made for the people's use, concerning the king. Only the prayers there used are here turned into praises for the blessings received in answer to their prayers. And as David was an illustrious type of Christ, so in many of these expressions he looks beyond himself to Christ, in whom they are properly and fully accomplished. We have a thanksgiving for blessings received, Psalms 21:1-6. An expression of confidence in God, Psalms 21:7-13.
