Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.

As for the holy people who are in the land,
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.

Their descendants will serve Him;
the next generation will be told about the Lord.

Then I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will delight in His deliverance.

Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.

Lord my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

I delight to do Your will, my God;
Your instruction lives within me.”

By this I know that You delight in me:
my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.God, we have heard with our ears—
our ancestors have told us—
the work You accomplished in their days,
in days long ago:

There is a river—
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

For Your servants take delight in its stones
and favor its dust.

He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our offenses.

He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.

The Lord’s works are great,
studied by all who delight in them.

Hallelujah!
Happy is the man who fears the Lord,
taking great delight in His commands.

I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

Your decrees are my delight
and my counselors.

I told You about my life,
and You listened to me;
teach me Your statutes.

I delight in Your commands,
which I love.

Their hearts are hard and insensitive,
but I delight in Your instruction.

May Your compassion come to me
so that I may live,
for Your instruction is my delight.

If Your instruction had not been my delight,
I would have died in my affliction.

Trouble and distress have overtaken me,
but Your commands are my delight.

I long for Your salvation, Lord,
and Your instruction is my delight.
