Ps 37:4
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

What does it actually mean to delight in? Here is a way to find out what the word in the original Hebrew was. I am enclosing a link at the bottom of the page. This is very cool. I first discovered Strongs Bible Dictionary when I went to Piedmont Bible College. It is a great tool for anyone who wants to dig deeper.

If you want to look up any word in the Bible in the original Hebrew, this is a good resource when you want to know what God is talking about.
