- Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting! - You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
- But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
- The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
“I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.” - Let us test and examine our ways,
and return to the Lord! - These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
- And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
- O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar. - Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! - Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually! - Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. - Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart. - And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. - Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
- And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
- O God, you are my God;
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land
where there is no water. - My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. - For “Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.” - Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable. - Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable. - Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
Know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.Next verse!With image
