Blessed: There is a most amiable spirit of piety in these reflections. Instead of expatiating on the praises of his munificent patron, or boasting of his own services, he blesses God for "putting such a thing in the king's heart;" and for all the assistance and favour shown him by the king and his counsellors. Ezra 6:22, 1 Chronicles 29:10-30, Philippians 4:10

put such: Ezra 6:22, Nehemiah 2:12, Nehemiah 7:5, 2 Corinthians 8:16, Hebrews 8:10, Hebrews 10:16, James 1:17, Revelation 17:17

in the king's heart: Nehemiah 2:8, Proverbs 21:1

to beautify: Isaiah 60:13

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers,.... This is Ezra's thanksgiving to God for the above decree:

which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart; which he rightly took to be of God, who wrought in him to will and to do:

to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem; to provide for the ornamenting of it, for vessels in it, as well as for sacrifices; for as for the building of it, that was finished.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An abrupt transition from the words of Artaxerxes to those of Ezra. Compare a similar abrupt change in Ezra 6:6. The language alters at the same time from Chaldee to Hebrew, continuing henceforth to be Hebrew until the close of the book.
