God you have appointed Jesus, for all to bow under authority to. You have created salvation, for it is your strength and power, and our joy - our delight. From the first moment of creation, love moved you to save. In you love you demanded it. Each action - with each word, you step toward this one thing and this happiness above any other: salvation. You embodied this to us as Jesus; for us to touch, see, and know a moment of your heart, of your greatness, of your rising up. You exalt yourself to save your people. You bring close your face, and we will sing and praise.

And the sequence of notes leading from the exact text of the first and last verses of Psalm 21 to the verse above:
God of all,
Earthly kings, sovereigns and rulers, find joy in your strength, and reason to be happy in salvation.
Be raised up, Lord, in your strength
We will sing and praise your power
Jesus-> word
creator of earth (by His [God's] word created)
strength-> right arm
-> not too short, weak, incapable
Jesus = salvation
happy
Happy in salvation:: sing and praise your power
