Psalm 21 - Strength Sandwich

Remembering back in Psalm 20…David and his men were going to war. “some boast in chariots, some in horses…but we will boast in the name of the Lord”.
Now they have just returned and seen the mighty strength of the Lord displayed again and David is thanking the Lord for granting the things that he asked for in 20.
Victories
Desires of his heart
Requests of his lips
Rich blessings
Crown
Long life
Glory
Majesty
Eternal Blessings
Joy of your presence
Unfailing Love
In 21 David…. rejoices in the strength of the Lord(beginning of the Psalm), and exhalts the Lord in his strength (end of the Psalm). Those are the things that make all the gifts in the middle of the passage pleasing to God, because David does give honor and glory to God in these things.
Let's not forget to praise and give honor to the Lord in things we ask for...and even the things we dont. He will not share his Glory with another.
