Psalms 37:4

2 For they shall soon be cut down ^alike the grass,
And wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

4 ^aDelight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your ^bheart.

5 ^aCommit¹ your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

6 ^aHe shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, ^aand wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who ^bprospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

8 ^aCease from anger, and forsake wrath;
^bDo not fret—it only causes harm.

9 For evildoers shall be¹ cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall ^ainherit the earth.

10 For ^ayet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, ^byou will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.

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 - mishaloth , the petitions. The godly man never indulges a desire which he cannot form into a prayer to God.
