Psalm 21:2
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
Thou hast given him his heart's desire,.... Which the church had prayed for in Psalms 20:4; whatever Christ's heart desired, or his lips requested, has been given him;
and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Whatever he asked in the council and covenant of peace was granted; he asked for all the elect, as his spouse and bride; these were the desire of his heart and eyes, and they were given him; he asked for all the blessings of grace for them, and all grace was given to them in him; he asked for glory, for eternal life, and it was promised him; and not only the promise of it was put into his hand, but the thing itself; see Psalms 2:8 1 John 5:11; and Psalms 20:4; whatever he requested of his Father, when here on earth, was granted; he always heard him; that memorable prayer of his in John 17:1 is heard and answered, both in what respects himself, his own glorification, and the conversion, sanctification, union, preservation, and glorification of his people; whatever he now desires and requests in heaven, as the advocate and intercessor for his saints, is ever fulfilled; which is an instance of the great regard Jehovah has unto him, and may be considered as a reason of his joy in him.
Selah; on this word, See Gill on "Psalms 3:2".
