21 1 David in the person of the people praiseth God for the victory, attributing it to God, and not to the strength of man. Wherein the holy Ghost directeth the faithful to Christ, who is the perfection of this kingdom.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David.

The King shall [a]rejoice in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he rejoice in thy salvation?

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not denied him the request of his lips. Selah.

For thou [b]didst prevent him with liberal blessings, and didst set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
