- The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise. - Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for the Lord. - So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. - The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver,
The heart of the wicked is worth little. - The wise of heart will receive commands,
But a babbling fool will come to ruin. - The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
To give to each person according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds. - Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor. - May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer. - For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
- And He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
- If an army encamps against me,
My heart will not fear;
If war arises against me,
In spite of this I am confident. - The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. - Go then, eat your bread in happiness, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.
- “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
“Return to Me with all your heart,
And with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” - And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
- That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
- But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.
- Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord examines the hearts. - Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
- My son, pay attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
They are not to escape from your sight;
Keep them in the midst of your heart. - Take care, brothers and sisters, that there will not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
- So you are to know in your heart that the Lord your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.
- Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy. - Search me, God, and know my heart;
Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there is any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
But have your heart comply with my commandments;
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
