Listen "Psalm 21: God Save the King Forever & Ever, Shared Celebration"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. Kevin Parviz, pastor of Congregation Chai v’Shalom in St. Louis, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Psalm 21.
No mere military anthem, Psalm 21 emphasizes God from the outset: “O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices.” Although David praises God for answering his particular prayers, the focus is not on individuals but the whole Davidic line and the whole people of God.
David had only begun to discover God’s goodness. God promised to bless the Davidic line “forever and ever,” and each king He protected for “length of days”—but only to Jesus Christ the true king did He give eternal resurrected life. Christ became like us, God’s “enemies,” so that we might share in His feast and celebration.
