Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

Thou hast given him his heart's desire,.... Which the church had prayed for in Psa 20:4; whatever Christ's heart desired, or his lips requested, has been given him; and hast not withholden the request of his lips.

The Treasury of David, Vol. 1 (1869)

"Thou hast given him his heart's desire." That desire he ardently pursued when he was on earth, both by his prayer, his actions, and his suffering; he manifested that his heart longed to redeem his people, and now in heaven he has his desire granted him, for he sees his beloved coming to be with him where he is. The desires of the Lord Jesus were from his heart, and the Lord heard them; if our hearts are right with God, he will in our case also "fulfil the desires of them that fear him."
