LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart. He had previously prayed, "forget not the humble (Psalms 10:12). Faith here takes for granted that what it has asked believingly it shall obtain effectually. "Thou hast heard ... the humble," (cf. 1 Chronicles 17:27, English version, and margin.) Not only the power to will, but also the will, is due to God's prevenient grace (Philippians 2:13). God prepares the heart, so that His people ask only such things as are pleasing to Him (Romans 8:26; Proverbs 16:1). He also, by prevenient grace, prepares them for doing His will (2 Chronicles 29:36; 2 Chronicles 30:12). So they are established in resisting all Satan's assaults, in the firm conviction of obtaining from God the promised deliverance. х Kuwn (H3559) includes both ideas-prepare and establish.]
