Psalms 21:2

“Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, etc.] Which the church had prayed for in (<192004>Psalm 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 <190208>Psalm 2:8 <550101>2 Timothy 1:1,9)…”

“The sentiment affirmed in the first clause is reaffirmed by the negation of its opposite in the second.”

“21:2 The king has experienced his heart’s desire—God’s protection and blessing (see 20:5; see also 2:8).”
