In today’s Meditatio Hour, Rev. Jonathan Fisk meditates on:
1. Psalm 21:1-8
The King Rejoices in the Lord‘s Strength
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
21 O Lord, in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he exults!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
3 For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of you; you gave it to him,
length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great through your salvation;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
6 For you make him most blessed forever;[a]
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
Footnotes:
- Psalm 21:6 Or make him a source of blessing forever
2. Proverbs 14:10
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
and no stranger shares its joy.
