A high degree of pleasure, or satisfaction of mind; joy. His delight is in the law of the Lord. Psalm 1:2.

That which gives great pleasure; that which affords delight. Titus was the delight of human kind. I was daily his delight. Proverbs 8:30. Delight is a more permanent pleasure than joy, and not dependent on sudden excitement.

To affect with great pleasure; to please highly; to give or afford high satisfaction or joy; as, a beautiful landscape delights the eye; harmony delights the ear; the good conduct of children, and especially their piety, delights their parents. I will delight myself in thy statutes. Psalm 119:16.

To receive great pleasure in. I delight to do thy will. Psalm 40:8.

To have or take great pleasure; to be greatly pleased or rejoiced; followed by in. I delight in the law of God after the inward man. Romans 7:22.
