From Thomas Schreiner:

The Psalm goes something like this: Lord, you promised to David that one of his sons would reign forever as king. You made a promise that his dynasty and kingdom would last forever. But Lord that promise isn’t coming true. Our enemies have triumphed over us, and our king is in exile. Your anointed king, your Messiah, is mocked, and you Lord aren’t doing anything about it. Lord, the psalmist writes: how long will we have to wait until you fulfill your promise? Lord, act on your promises and do what you have pledged. Well, let’s step back and look at what this Psalm teaches us in more detail.

The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule;

  Love and Truth are its fruits.

Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise,

    who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.

Delighted, they dance all day long; they know

    who you are, what you do—they can’t keep it quiet!

Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us—

    you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air!

All we are and have we owe to God,

    Holy God of Israel, our King!

יד  לְךָ זְרוֹעַ, עִם-גְּבוּרָה;    תָּעֹז יָדְךָ, תָּרוּם יְמִינֶךָ.	14 Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
טו  צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט, מְכוֹן כִּסְאֶךָ;    חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת, יְקַדְּמוּ פָנֶיךָ.	15 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; mercy and truth go before Thee.
טז  אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם, יֹדְעֵי תְרוּעָה;    יְהוָה, בְּאוֹר-פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכוּן.	16 Happy is the people that know the joyful shout; they walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance.
יז  בְּשִׁמְךָ, יְגִילוּן כָּל-הַיּוֹם;    וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ יָרוּמוּ.	17 In Thy name do they rejoice all the day; and through Thy righteousness are they exalted.
יח  כִּי-תִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּמוֹ אָתָּה;    וּבִרְצוֹנְךָ, תרים (תָּרוּם) קַרְנֵינוּ.	18 For Thou art the glory of their strength; and in Thy favour our horn is exalted.
יט  כִּי לַיהוָה, מָגִנֵּנוּ;    וְלִקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְכֵּנוּ.	19 For of the LORD is our shield; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
