John Trapp on Psalms 37:4

Verſ. 4. Delight thy ſelf alſo in the Lord] Whilſt others delight in riches and pleaſures; as if there were no other happineſs but to have, and to hold, no ſport unleſs men may have the Devil their Play-fellow. The like counſel hereunto giveth Saint Paul to his Son Timothy, 1 Epiſt. 6.12. whilſt others lay hold as with tooth and nayl on riches, &c. lay thou hold on eternal life; make God thy portion and thou art made for ever.

And he ſhall give thee the deſires of thy heart] It ſhall be unto thee even as thou wilt. It is ſaid of Luther, that he could have what he would of Almighty God. What may not a Favourite, who hath the royalty of his Princes eare, obtain of him? It is ſaid of S[illegible: 1 letter]ianus, that in all his deſigns he found in Tiberius the Emperour ſo great facility and affection to his deſires, that he needed only to ask and give thanks.
