"The Lord your God is in your midst, a Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy" (Zephaniah 3:17 AMP 2015).
"The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, and He delights in his way [and blesses his path]" (Psalm 37:23 AMP 2015).
"The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love" (Psalm 147:11 NIV).
"For the Lord takes delight in His people; He crowns the humble with salvation" (Psalm 149:4 NIV).
"...the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you" (Isaiah 62:4b-5 NIV).
"...You do not stay angry forever, but delight to show mercy" (Micah 7:18b NIV).
When we are His people, humble and righteous in Christ, fearing Him and hoping in Him, God delights in us. He pours it over us unsparingly, to overflowing; He gives us His best because we are worth it to Him. And when we will delight ourselves in Him--with extravagant, scrumptious delight--he will give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4).
