While reading Psalm 21 today, I came to two verses that stood out the most. While the overall chapter is about the favor of the Lord upon His king, these verses are entirely descriptive of the relationship between the two. Especially when the Lord is most glorified in the Psalm of David. Among His people and among the king’s enemies.
“His glory is great through Your salvation,
Splendor and majesty You place upon him.
For You make him most blessed forever;
You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.” – Ps 21:5-6 NASB
“His glory is great in thy salvation:
Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever:
Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.” – Ps 21:5-6 KJV
Numerous times through the day and remainder of the week, it came to mind that the source of splendor, majesty, honor is from the the LORD YHWH. I let that dwell within me while out and about to absorb and contemplate.
