Psalm 21
1. A thanksgiving for victory
7. with confidence of further success














Your hand
The phrase "Your hand" in Psalm 21:8 signifies the power and authority of God. In the Hebrew context, the hand often symbolizes strength and capability. The hand of God is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, representing His ability to act decisively in the world. In this verse, it underscores God's active role in delivering justice and executing His will. The imagery of God's hand conveys a sense of divine intervention and protection, assuring believers of His omnipotence and involvement in the affairs of humanity.

will apprehend
The term "will apprehend" suggests a future action of capturing or seizing. In the Hebrew, the word used here can imply a firm grasp or control over something. This conveys the certainty and inevitability of God's judgment against His enemies. It reflects the assurance that God will not overlook wrongdoing but will actively pursue and bring to justice those who oppose Him. This phrase reassures believers of God's commitment to righteousness and His ultimate victory over evil.

all Your enemies
"All Your enemies" refers to those who oppose God and His anointed king. In the historical context of the Psalms, this could include foreign nations or individuals who threaten the peace and security of Israel. Spiritually, it extends to all forces that stand against God's purposes. The comprehensive nature of "all" emphasizes that no adversary is beyond God's reach or power. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the futility of resisting His will.

Your right hand
The "right hand" is often associated with favor, strength, and honor in biblical literature. It is a position of power and authority. In this verse, it highlights God's ability to execute judgment and deliverance with precision and might. The right hand of God is a symbol of His active engagement in the world, ensuring that justice is served. For believers, it is a source of comfort, knowing that God's righteous hand is at work on their behalf.

will seize those who hate you
The phrase "will seize those who hate you" indicates a decisive action against those who harbor animosity towards God. The Hebrew word for "seize" conveys a sense of capturing or taking hold of with intent. This reflects the certainty of divine retribution against those who oppose God's will. It serves as a warning to the wicked and a reassurance to the faithful that God will not allow hatred and rebellion to go unpunished. This phrase underscores the theme of divine justice and the ultimate triumph of God's righteousness.

(8) Thine.--The psalm has hitherto been addressed to Jehovah. It now turns in prophetic strain to the king.

Verses 8-12. - In this second portion of the psalm, the people address themselves to David, anticipating future glories for him. "Having shown what God would do for his anointed, the psalm now describes what the latter shall accomplish through Divine assistance" (Alexander). Past success is taken as a guarantee of victory over all other enemies. Verse 8. - Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies; i.e. "shall reach them, attain them, punish them" (comp. 1 Samuel 31:3). Thy right hand (the hand of greater power) shall find out those that hate thee; and, of' course, punish them severely.
