Commentary on Psalms 21:2

Theological / Devotional

Desire. The prayer for the king (Ps. 20:4) has been answered. The phrase “heart’s desire” has become a part of the English vernacular. Answers to prayer may be expected when human desires correspond to God’s desires and when the will is subject to Him.

Withholden. “Denied.”

Selah. See p. 629.
