The spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise which Christ, as the great High Priest, offers up for his people; or which they offer by him, and are acceptable to God through him, by virtue of the incense of his mediation; or the offering up of himself, which answers to, and is the body, the sum and substance, of all...

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. This God did to his dear Son, and this he is prepared to do to all his people.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel. Is it not written, “Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised”?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel. We cannot pray this for everybody. We do pray it for Christ, and we pray it for the Lord’s sanctified people, that he may grant them the desire of their heart, and fulfill their counsel.

Now know I that the Lord saveth his Anointed,.... Not David, though he was the anointed of the God of Jacob, and was anointed with material oil to be king of Israel by Samuel, at the express order of God himself; but David is not here speaking of himself, nor the church of him, but of the Messiah; anointed by Jehovah king over his holy hill of...

Let the king hear us when we call. Now turn to the Psalm of victory. It corresponds very beautifully with the litany which we have just been reading. This exposition consisted of readings from PSALMS 20. and 21.
