Psalms 21:6 - Exposition

For thou hast made him most blessed for ever; literally, for thou settest him to be blessings for ever. Thou makest him, i.e; to be a perennial source of blessings to men. As all mankind were blessed in Abraham ( Genesis 12:3 ; Genesis 18:18 ; Genesis 22:18 ), i.e. in his seed, so were they all blessed in David' s seed. Thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance ; i.e. with thy favour and protection, so frequently and so markedly extended to him.
