delight

⁴Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.

²But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

¹⁷The Lord your God is the strength in your midst; he will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. In his love, he will be silent. He will exult over you with praise.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.

²³If you will return to the Almighty, you will be rebuilt, and you will put sinfulness far from your tabernacle. ²⁴He will give you stone in place of dirt, and torrents of gold in place of stone. ²⁵And the Almighty will be against your enemies, and silver will be gathered together for you. ²⁶Then will you flock together in delight over the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God.

²⁰And he led me out, into a wide place. He accomplished my salvation, because he willed me.

⁴And I will enter, up to the altar of God, to God who enlivens my youthfulness. To you, O God, my God, I will confess upon a stringed instrument. ⁵Why are you sad, my soul? And why do you disquiet me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance and my God. ⁶

¹Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.

²⁴But he who glories should glory in this: to know me and to know me well. For I am the Lord, who accomplishes mercy and judgment and justice upon the earth. For these things are pleasing to me, says the Lord.

¹⁰Yet still a little while, and the sinner will not be. And you will search his place and find nothing. ¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.

¹⁴I have been delighted in the way of your testimonies, as if in all riches. ¹⁵I will be trained in your commandments, and I will consider your ways. ¹⁶I will meditate on your justifications. I will not forget your words.

⁹²If your law had not been my meditation, then perhaps I would have perished in my humiliation. ⁹³I will not forget your justifications, for eternity. For by them, you have enlivened me.

⁹that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.

¹⁸What God is like you, who takes away iniquity and passes over the sin of the remnant of your inheritance? No longer will he send forth his fury, because he is willing to be merciful.

¹⁴then you will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

²⁴For your testimonies are also my meditation, and your justifications are my counsel.

²²Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth. ²³And you shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times. ²⁴But when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it, ²⁵you shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord will choose. ²⁶And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: you and your household. ²⁷As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.
