Psalms 21:2 - Exposition

Thou hast given him his heart' s desire (comp. Psalms 20:4 , "Grant thee according to thine own heart"). And hast not withholden the request of his lips. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." The deliverance from his enemies, which David had earnestly desired in his heart, he had also devoutly requested with his lips ( Psalms 20:1 , Psalms 20:5 ). Selah . The pause here may have been for the presentation of a thank-offering.
