Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
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. Yet above all, the Holy Spirit directs our minds here to Christ, who was the end and perfection of this kingdom, teaching us we cannot be saved except under the Head God Himself appointed.

Commenting on Psalm 21:1-13
"Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength." A sweet concluding verse. Our hearts shall join in it. It is always right to praise the Lord when we call to remembrance his goodness to his Son, and the overthrow of his foes.
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.
