Gill's Notes on the Bible
Delight thyself also in the Lord,.... In the persons in God, Father, Son, and Spirit; in the perfections of God, his power, goodness, faithfulness, wisdom, love, grace, and mercy; in his works of creation, providence, and redemption; in his word, his Gospel, the truths and ordinances of it; in his house, and the worship of it; and in his people, the excellent in the earth, in whom was all the delight of the psalmist; and each of these afford a field of delight and pleasure, to attend unto, contemplate, and meditate upon;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart; such as are according to the will of God, and for the good of his people; such as relate to communion with him, and to the communication of more grace from him, and to the enjoyment of eternal glory.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Delight thyself also in the - Lord. The word rendered âdelightâ means properly to live delicately and effeminately; then, to be tender or delicate; then, to live a life of ease or pleasure; then, to find delight or pleasure in anything. The meaning here is, that we should seek our happiness in God - in his being, his perfections, his friendship, his love.
And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart - literally, the âaskings,â or the ârequestsâ of thy heart. What you really âdesireâ will be granted to you. That is,
(a) the fact that you seek your happiness in him will regulate your desires, so that you will be âdisposedâ to ask only those things which it will be proper for him to grant; and
(b) the fact that you do find your happiness in him will be a reason why he will grant your desires.
The fact that a child loves his father, and finds his happiness in doing his will, will do much to regulate his own âwishesâ or âdesires,â and will at the same thee be a reason why the father will be disposed to comply with his requests.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 37:4. Delight thyself also in the Lord — Expect all thy happiness from him, and seek it in him.
The desires of thine heart. — ×ש×××ת mishaloth, the petitions. The godly man never indulges a desire which he cannot form into a prayer to God.
