Psalms 37:3-4

[3] Trust  in the LORD,  and do  good;  so shalt thou dwell  in the land,  and verily  thou shalt be fed.  [4] Delight  thyself also in the LORD;  and he shall give  thee the desires  of thine heart. 

What does Psalms 37:3-4 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Positively, we should center our lives on God. We should continue to trust in the Lord to do what is right and persist in doing right ourselves. For the Israelite this meant staying in the Promised Land rather than leaving it for greener pastures elsewhere. Those who take delight in the Lord will receive their hearts" desires. The righteous who delight in the Lord will want to see His will done, and that will happen eventually for them.
