That is, What he desireth, or whatsoever pleaseth him;¹ We desire only those things which are very pleasing, And those things which are most pleasing to us, are, to us, very desirable. The desire of man is love in motion, as his joy is love at rest. But in God desire and joy are not distinguishable, in him there is no motion, all is rest. What his soul desireth, Even that he doth.

The Hebrew is very concise, His soul desireth, and doth. That is, he no sooner desireth a thing, but he doth it,¹ or when he desireth, it is done. The will of God is execution; though he willeth many things, which (as to man) are not presently, no nor till a long time after executed, yet as to himself whatsoever God willeth is executed, and whensoever he pleaseth, his will is actually executed among men. He desireth, and it is done.
