He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 145:19
Fulfil the desire, so far as it is agreeable to his own will, and convenient for their good; not inordinate desires, which God commonly denies to his people in mercy, and granteth to his enemies in anger.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 145:19
Psalms 145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.Ver. 19. He will fulfil the desire, &c.] Or, the will, the pleasure, Beneplacitum. Hence that bold request of Luther, Fiat voluntas mea, let my will be done. But then he addeth, Mea, Domine, quia tua, My will, because thine, and no otherwise. They that do the will of God shall have their own will of God. See 1 John 3:22. The king can deny you nothing.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 145:19
19, 20. Fear and love are the inseparable elements of true religion. Fear preserves love from degenerating into presumptuous familiarity: love prevents fear from becoming a servile and cringing dread.
