Psalm 16:3-4

As for the saints (godly people) who are in the land, they are majestic and the noble and the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. The sorrows (pain and suffering) of those who have chosen another god will be multiplied (because of their idolatry).

God delights in the saints, His people who love and fear Him. They are lifted because they follow God’s instruction and direction for their lives. The leadership of God and His wisdom is a relationship above any idol. An idol is a pretender or imposter created by man for a self-serving relationship.
