21
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David [Beloved].
Context: Possible, King David [Beloved] honors the death of a foreign King. His intentions are misunderstood and Israel [God prevails] fights in a war of miscommunication. (2 Sam 10)
 
* MPr: The King in (Psalm 21:1) is King Messiah. (Targum Ps 21:1). This same King is linked to (Is 11:10), where Rabbi Chanina explains the objective of the Messiah. King Messiah is to give specific commandments to the Gentiles. This is in parallel contrast to Israel, who receives commands directly from God himself. (Midrash Ps 21:1). (John 14:6-11, 13:33-35; Matt 28:19, 28:20; Acts 15:5-11, 15:14-21) The King (Messiah [Anointed one]) rejoices in your strength, Adonai !
How greatly he rejoices in your yishu'ah ·salvation·!
You have given him his heart’s desire,
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.
You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
MPr: God will crown Messiah with His own crown. (Ps 21:3 in Midrash Exodus 8). (1 Cor 15:24-28; Phil 2:9; Rev 21:22) He asked life of you, you gave it to him,
even length of days forever and ever.
MPr: The glory referenced in the first clause of this verse is of the King Messiah. The second clause is proof of its Messianic application. (Ps 21:5, Heb Bible 21:6, in Yalkut on Numbers 27:20, Midrash Ps 21:5). In addition, this passage is directly applied to the Messiah in (Midrash Genesis 15). (John 12:28; Phil 2:9) His kavod ·weighty glory· is great in your yishu'ah ·salvation·.
You lay honor and majesty on him.
For you make him most blessed forever.
You make him glad with joy in your presence.
For the king trusts in Adonai .
Through the cheshed ·loving-kindness· of haElyon [the Most High], he shall not be moved.
Your hand will find out all of your enemies.
Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger.
Adonai will swallow them up in his wrath.
The fire shall devour them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
their posterity from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against you.
They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12 For you will make them turn their back,
when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13 Be exalted, Adonai , in your strength,
so we will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your power.
