Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) 

 For the Lord your God is living among you.

    He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
    With his love, he will calm all your fears.[a]
    He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

  Greek and Syriac versions read 'He will renew you with his love'. 
 

Psalm 1 (NKJV)

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
    Planted by the rivers of water,
    That brings forth its fruit in its season,
    Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Deuteronomy 30:10
The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.

Job 22:25-27 (NLT)

25 the Almighty himself will be your treasure.
    He will be your precious silver!
26 “Then you will take delight in the Almighty    and look up to God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
    and you will fulfill your vows to him.

Psalm 111:1-3 (NLT)

Praise the Lord!
I will thank the Lord with all my heart
    as I meet with his godly people.
How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!
    All who delight in him should ponder them.
Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
   His righteousness never fails.

Psalm 112:1-3 (NLT)

Praise the Lord!
How joyful are those who fear the Lord
    and delight in obeying his commands.

Their children will be successful everywhere;
    an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. 
 
Psalm 119:16 I delight in your decrees and will not forget your word.
 
47  How I delight in your commands! How I love them!

70 Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your instructions.

77  Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight.

111 Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight.

174  O LORD, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight.

Psalm 147:10-12 (NLT) 

10 He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.11 No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him,those who put their hope in his unfailing love. 12 Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!


Isaiah 62:3-5 (NLT) 

The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—

    a splendid crown in the hand of God.
Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”
    or “The Desolate Land.”
Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight
    and “The Bride of God,”
for the Lord delights in you
    and will claim you as his bride.
Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
    just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
    as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
