God's Rule Through His King (Psalm 21, Part 2)

The Exalted Lord Consumes with Fire (verses 8-12)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2021:8-12&version=NIV

Our exalted Lord God consumes with fire. To Him belongs both the blessings and the curses of the covenant. Through Christ, our risen Lord, all enemy powers, including death, are swallowed. Christ, God’s Son, is the source of our strength.

Lord, fill us with Your joy. We celebrate with songs of praise and thanksgiving as we recount Your marvelous works. Thank You, Lord, that though our enemies plot evil against You and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed. Be exalted in Your strength, Lord. We sing and praise Your might.

The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

John Rippon (1751-1836)
