-
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
-
The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord. May your hearts live forever!
-
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false and do not swear deceitfully.
-
Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distress.
-
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and mind.
-
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.
-
“Come,” my heart says, “seek his face!” Your face, Lord, do I seek.
-
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
-
Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while mischief is in their hearts.
-
The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
-
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.
-
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
-
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
-
he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
-
Our heart is glad in him because we trust in his holy name.
-
Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha, we have our heart’s desire.” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed you up.”

Psalm 36
Human Wickedness and Divine Goodness
To the leader. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in their hearts; there is no fear of God before their eyes.
-
O continue your steadfast love to those who know you and your salvation to the upright of heart!
-
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
-
their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
-
The law of their God is in their hearts; their steps do not slip.
-
I am utterly spent and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
-
My heart throbs; my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
-
my heart became hot within me. While I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
-
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
