In the ESV , Psalm 21 has the title "The King Rejoices in the LORD'S Strength"
This psalm is talking about a king who trusts in the Lord (verse 7):
A king who knows the joy of the Lord's presence (verse 6)
Although Psalm 21 is talking about a Davidic king , it also addresses those in authority over nations who in practice have great authority and responsibility.
These leaders stand in need of prayer because power corrupts.
It is most important that those in authority are fully aware that they are answerable before the people
and before God, There are continuous blessings to nations which are governed by authorities who
put their trust in God.
Some people might think that it is all right to trust governments and authorities which are humanist.
It is worth noting that humanists do not seek the Lord in prayer. They do not exult over the power of the resurrection or Christ's victory on the cross. Humanists do not attribute any blessing to God and do not seek or expect eternal life. Humanists can not see God in all creation or recognize the presence of God. They do not seek the will of God or attempt to put it into practice.
