The Psalm seems to describe a king (small k) which would signify an earthly ruler; and some of the statements from verses 1 through 7 fit that premise. Nonetheless; there are Messianic traits from verse 8 on that indicate either Christ or God Himself fulfilling justice and wrath on the earth in the future.
Verse 4; for instance could fit with promises given to the lineage of David with Solomon; for example whose reign in theory would be infinite if he had remained obedient. These promises; however were not to be met with any fallible human ruler. We see sentiments to this in Psalm 2:7-8 as to us being the reward for Christ's sufferings as His adopted Sons.
Verse 8 talks of the "right hand" of God finding enemies. The right hand of God has been used to signify Christ ( Heb. 1:3; Rev. 5:7 etal).
Verse 9 is much like Malachi 4:1 as to the description of Christ's return at Armageddon.
'
Verse 10 is like Isaiah 14:21 on the offspring of the wicked; and can be related to Revelation 17 and 18 as well with the final destruction of Babylon (also referred to extensively in the writings of Jeremiah).
Verse 11 reminds us of Jeremiah 18:12 as well as other Psalms in the devices of the wicked coming to naught. And verse 12 is similar to Psalm 56:9 although there are other verses that discuss God making people turn their backs before judgment is rendered.
Finally; verse 13 asks God to be exalted so we can praise Him and sing to Him because of His power. This could be singing a "new song" or other related verses ( Psalm 98:1 and of course Revelation verses).
I shall joy in the greatness of you Lord. You always answer and you stand next to me daily. Thank you for your comfort and peace.
Help me to know you in the depth of your Scripture. Though I do not deserve anything, you have chosen to bless me. May I learn to walk in the integrity of your holiness.
I love this Psalm 21 and I read often. This Psalms came to me in a dream one night where a lady told me to stand and read it in a church. After I woke up the morning I look up the Psalm and read it frequently.
The strength of God is unlimited, eternal, in opposition to his enemies and to the good for his believers.Our King, the Lord Jesus has won for us salvation. We will indeed sing of him and praise him.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. Re: Verse 3, David, like all of us, was on the path to Hell but the goodness of God prevented that Romans 2:4

Hello sons and daughters of the one true living God, please pray always that you will be accounted worthy to escape the hour of temptation that is going to come upon the whole world. And pray always that you will also be accounted worthy to stand in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I went through some really disappointing situation the night before and the Lord kept saying read Psalms 21. I had no idea what it contained and when I read it, my God, what precious words and encouragement for such a time as this! Thank you God!

all you have to do is trust and believe in the lord and in due time he will fulfill all you needs. i find it hard sometimes to be patient and wait for the lord but i have to then humble myself and remember that god has blessed me thus far and hes not going to abandon me. all you have to do is have faith and no matter the problem the lord will see you through. bless his name

The Lord is My Sheppard
he has a desire in his heart.His days were never numbered and he was purposed to
accomplish God's will.A gladness of unsurpassed measure was his because he
knew the facial expression,countenance, of the Lord.Yet, it was mercy of the Father
that sustained him in his explicit trust in the Father.A trust that grows within believers,
rooted in the trust of our Lord Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith.Hebrews12:2
