Gill's Notes on the Bible

Grant thee according to thine own heart,.... Which is to see his seed, the travail of his soul, and to have the pleasure of the Lord prosper in his hand; to have all his people called, preserved, and glorified;

and fulfil all thy counsel; whatever was agreed upon in the council and covenant of peace between him and his Father, relating to his own glory, and the salvation of his people.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Grant thee according to thine own heart - According to thy wishes; according to the desires of thy heart.

And fulfil all thy counsel - All that thou hast designed or undertaken in the matter; that is, may he enable thee to execute thy purpose.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 20:4. Grant thee according to thine own heart — May God give thee whatsoever thou art setting thy heart upon, and accomplish all thy desires! This was probably the prayer of the high priest.
