David could have given thanks to God in private, but he testified publicly that whatever blessings God conferred upon him redounded to the common good of all His people.

Commenting on Psalm 21:1-13
"For they intended evil against thee." God takes notice of intentions. He who would but could not is as guilty as he who did. Christ's church and cause are not only attacked by those who do not understand it, but there are many who have the light and yet hate it.
Christ our King trusts in God and shall not be moved; His joy and confidence are the ground of ours. The mercy of the Most High secures His happiness and ours, and silences all our fears. He will utterly overthrow all impenitent enemies who refuse His reign.
