Delight Yourself In The Lord And He Will Give You The Desires Of Your Heart

The phrase "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" is a well-known biblical verse from Psalm 37:4 in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The verse is often interpreted as an encouragement to find joy and satisfaction in one's relationship with God, with the promise that God will fulfill the deepest desires of those who seek Him. The Hebrew translation of this verse is "וְהִתְעַנֶּג בַּיהוָה וְיִתֶּן לְךָ מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּךָ" (V'hit'anneg ba'Adonai v'yitten l'cha mish'alot libecha). In Greek, the verse is translated as "καὶ ἀνάπαυσον ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ δώσει σοι τὰ ἐπιποθήματα τῆς καρδίας" (kai anapauson en kyriō kai dōsei soi ta epipothēmata tēs kardia). In Latin, it is "et delectaberis in Domino et dabit tibi petita cordis tui". Contextually, this verse is part of a psalm attributed to King David, which offers wisdom and reassurance to those who trust in God, urging them to refrain from envy and wrongdoing, and to commit their way to the Lord.
