The affirmation that the king succeeds in his campaign for truth and meekness and righteousness clarifies that military conquest serves the purpose of establishing justice and righteous order. The personification of meekness and righteousness as companions of the king suggests that these virtues guide his actions and characterize his reign. The specific mention of the king's right hand reaching terrible things implies that the power wielded by the monarch serves the establishment of divine order and the punishment of unrighteousness. The characterization of the king's arrows as sharp (suggesting effectiveness and penetration) establishes his role as one who effectively advances righteous causes. This verse transforms military imagery into theological significance, suggesting that conquests establish divine justice.
