Psalm 21: Present & Future Praise

Psalm 21:
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him,
even length of days for ever and ever.
vs.4

"Psalm 21: The connection with the preceding Psalm contains thanksgiving for the Lord’s deliverance.

The first part (of Psalm 21), is a thanksgiving for victory;
the last part is an anticipation of future victories in the Lord through the king-general.
Two scenarios of victory provide a context for praise and prayer to the Commander-in-Chief of Israel’s king-general.

I.       A Present-Past Scenario of Praise: Grounded upon Victories Accomplished in the Lord (21:1-6).
His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. vs.5
II.      A Present-Future Scenario of Prayer and Praise: Grounded upon Victories Anticipated in the Lord (21:7-13).
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. vs.7."
 
Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips.
vs.22
