Commentary for Psalms 21:2

יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּעָזְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמַח־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּ֝בִישׁ֥וּעָתְךָ֗ מַה־יגיל [יָּ֥גֶל] מְאֹֽד׃

O LORD, in Thy strength the king rejoiceth; and in Thy salvation how greatly doth he exult!

Rashi on Psalms

may the king rejoice with Your strength Our Rabbis (Mid. Ps. 21:1) interpreted it as referring to the King Messiah, but the matter may correctly be interpreted further as referring to David himself, in order to refute the sectarians, who became bold because of it.
