Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:5 Delight thyself also in the - 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 askings, or the requests of thy heart. What you really desire 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 disposed 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 wishes or desires, and will at the same time be a reason why the father will be disposed to comply with his requests.
