and when they return to You with their whole mind and heart in the land of their captivity where they were taken captive, and when they pray in the direction of their land that You gave their ancestors, and the city You have chosen, and toward the temple I have built for Your name,

The Queen of Sheba

Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their ancestors with all their mind and all their heart.

All Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their mind. They had sought Him with all their heart, and He was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.

His mind rejoiced in the Lord’s ways, and he again removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

He will certainly accomplish what He has decreed for me, and He has many more things like these in mind.

If He put His mind to it and withdrew the spirit and breath He gave,

Who put wisdom in the heart or gave the mind understanding?

How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

I keep the Lord in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on what is false, and who has not sworn deceitfully.

Test me, Lord, and try me; examine my heart and mind.

For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You—

Teach me Your way, Yahweh, and I will live by Your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

ס Samek

I hate those who are double-minded, but I love Your instruction.

For wisdom will enter your mind, and knowledge will delight your heart.
