Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.
