PSALMS 37:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
Ps 37:3Ps 37:5
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
The psalmist advises 'Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.' The command to delight emphasizes that faith should involve joy and pleasure, not grim duty. The promise that God will grant the desires of those who delight in God establishes that alignment with God results in the fulfillment of what one truly desires. This verse suggests that the desires of those who genuinely love God will themselves be righteous and worthy of fulfillment.
