To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! You have given him his heart's desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah
For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—Length of days forever and ever.
His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
How does this glorify the LORD. God, the Almighty? By recognizing His goodness. By enumerating His answers to prayers.
Look at that one sentence, “You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.” Anytime we are given assurance that we are in presence of the LORD and acknowledge that awareness before Him, we glorifying His precious name.
Our response must be to bring that 'exceeding gladness' to His attention. One way is to give His praise in the assembly of the saints.
