5 The Lord tests the righteous,
but his soul mhates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
10 But yhe knows the way that I take;
when he has ztried me, I shall come out as gold.
Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, you have dsearched me and known me!
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward yappearance, but zthe Lord looks on the heart.”
David’s Charge to Solomon
9 “And you, Solomon my son, dknow the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. eIf you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
