Psalms20:4
Verſ. 4. Grant thee according to thine own heart] Davids heart was according to Godsheart (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 quiatua, Let my will be done; mine I ſay, Lord, becauſe the ſame with thine.
And fulfill all thy counſel] Anſwer thee, ad cardinem deſiderii, as a Father expreſſeth it;Aug. Confeſ. li. 5. c. 8. Let it be unto thee even as thou wilt. Sometimes God doth not only grant a mans prayer, but fulfilleth his counſel; that is, in that very way, by that very means, which his judgment pitcht upon in his thoughts.
