Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
In its setting the verse is part of a prayer for God to hear in the day of trouble, to defend, to send help, and to grant what is according to the heart by fulfilling all counsel and plans. It therefore applies as encouragement and intercession for support and fulfilled purpose when facing danger and opposition, as when prayer was offered for Martin Luther before his appearance before the emperor and the Diet at Worms that God would uphold him and bring his purpose to fulfillment. It is a precious promise given to God's people, belonging with the promises of the nineteenth and twentieth Psalms, to be accepted and believed.
As such a promise it awakens people to their true spiritual condition and leads every soul to humble heart and mind before God in full surrender to Him. It awakens hearts to the perils surrounding those who are indifferent to the soul's eternal welfare. It calls for searching the Scriptures as never before, with the Word of God as educator and guide to understand what the Scriptures say.
