What does it mean that the blessed man delights in the law of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

The blessed man delights in the law of the Lord because he sees it as fulfilled and honored in Christ's righteousness.

Delighting in the law of the Lord means loving and cherishing God's word, not out of obligation or fear of punishment, but through a recognition that it reflects Christ's perfect righteousness. The blessed man understands that Christ has fulfilled the law and that true obedience flows from a heart transformed by grace. Thus, his meditation on God's law is not a legalistic endeavor but a joyful expression of gratitude for the grace given to him through Jesus. This delight stems from a deep appreciation of how the law points to Christ and His redemptive work.
