Study Note
The royal psalm's declaration 'thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee' addresses the king whose enemies are also God's enemies — the royal-divine solidarity that makes the king's battles God's battles and vice versa. The verb 'find out' (timtza, matzah — to find, encounter, overtake) implies irresistible pursuit: no hiding place is sufficient, a motif developed in Amos 9:1-4 ('though they hide in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence'). Psalm 21 stands as the responsory to Psalm 20 (the battle-prayer before the campaign), making verse 8 a retrospective affirmation of divine-warrior participation in the king's victory. Christian readings have applied the whole psalm to the risen Christ: Psalm 21:4 ('he asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him') becomes his resurrection, and verse 8 his universal sovereignty over enemies.
