My summary of Psalm 21:

Psalm 21 begins with the rejoicing in the strength and blessings bestowed upon the king (presumably David) by God. It praises God for answering the king’s prayers and granting him success in battle. The victory over the king’s enemies is attributed to God’s unwavering support and love. The psalm concludes with the acknowledgment of God’s power and the assurance that the king will not be shaken, as God’s hand will be upon him.

My applications:

1. Gratitude for Success: Just as the psalmist expressed gratitude for the king’s victories, I can apply this by expressing thankfulness to God for my own successes and achievements in life.
2. Trusting in God’s Guidance: shows acknowledged that it was God’s support that led to triumph over enemies. In my own life, I can trust in God’s guidance and seek strength from Him during challenging times.
3. Seeking God in Prayer: As the king prayed and was answered, I can learn to rely on prayer as a way to communicate with God and seek His wisdom and help.
4. Understanding God’s Love: The psalm emphasizes God’s love and blessings. I can take comfort in knowing that God cares for me and is actively involved in my life.
5. Confidence in God’s Protection: It speaks of not being shaken, knowing that God’s hand is upon the king. I can have confidence in God’s protection and find stability in my faith during uncertain times.
