Grant thee according to thine own heart<\/strong> ] David’s heart was according to God’s heart (otherwise this had not been a warrantable petition), and therefore might say (and the people on his behalf), as once Luther did, Fiat voluntas mea; mea, Domine, quia tua,<\/em> Let my will be done; mine I say, Lord, because the same with thine. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And fulfil all thy counsel<\/strong> ] Answer thee, ad cardinem desiderii,<\/em> as a Father expresseth it (Aug. Confess. l. 5, c. 8). Let it be unto thee even as thou wilt. Sometimes God doth not only grant a man’s prayer, but fulfilleth his counsel; that is, in that very way, by that very means, which his judgment pitch upon in his thoughts.<\/p>\n NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Psa 20:4-5<\/p>\n 4May He grant you your heart’s desire<\/p>\n And fulfill all your counsel!<\/p>\n 5We will sing for joy over your victory,<\/p>\n And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.<\/p>\n May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. <\/p>\n Psa 20:4 your heart’s desire This is the issue of peace and trust. A good example of an appropriate desire for a Davidic King is Solomon’s prayer of dedication of the Temple (cf. 1Ki 8:22-61). <\/p>\n Psa 20:5 <\/p>\n NASBWe will sing for joy<\/p>\n NKJV, LXXwe will rejoice<\/p>\n NRSV, TEV,<\/p>\n JPSOAwe shout for joy<\/p>\n NJBwith joy we can hail. . .<\/p>\n REBLet us sing aloud your praise <\/p>\n This verb (BDB 943, KB 1247, Piel cohortative) denotes a shout for good or bad, depending on the context. Here it is rejoicing over the military victory accomplished by YHWH (cf. Zep 3:14). <\/p>\n we will set up our banners This follows (BDB 186, KB 213, Qal imperfect [found only here in the OT] used in a cohortative sense). It would be an expected welcome procedure for the victorious king and military. <\/p>\n The NET Bible (p. 875) recommends an emendation to another verbal root, , from BDB 162 with preposition. The NET Bible suggests this fits the parallelism better and also notes Psa 89:16, where the verb is used in connection with in Your name. <\/p>\n petitions This rare noun (BDB 982) is found only twice in the OT, here and Psa 37:4. The verb root (BDB 981) means ask.
