Pastors. See on ch. 2:8.

According to mine heart. David was called a man after God’s heart (1 Sam. 13:14; Ps. 89:20; Acts 13:22). The God-selected shepherds are contrasted with Israel’s kings, appointed, not by God, but according to the nation’s desires (see Hosea 8:4). These kings had led the nation to apostasy and ruin.
