How can anyone not love Psalm 23? It’s one of the best known psalms, and it’s not hard to see why! It’s music to my ears! The best-loved verse is 4, of course: “Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death I should fear no danger, for you are at my [...]

David, writing from Jesus’ perspective in this last section of the psalm, praises God with all his might.

The subtitle for Psalm 21 is “for a coronation ceremony”. But this isn’t David’s coronation, is it? The description is too eschatological to ignore, and besides, he was already king. Let’s look at the psalm together, and draw parallels between it and Jesus Christ. You’ll be surprised at how well things fit. I’m not going [...]
