I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep your statutes.

[Shin] Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart stands in awe of your word.

[A song of ascents.] In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

[A song of ascents. Of David.] LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Lo, we heard of it at Ephrathah: we found it in the fields of the woods.

[A Psalm of David.] I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto you.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

Who imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their delicacies.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;

My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:

Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let your heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.

Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Perversity is in his heart, he devises evil continually; he sows discord.

A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,

Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.

Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her allure you with her eyelids.

Bind them upon your fingers, write them upon the table of your heart.

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.

Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

O you simple, understand wisdom: and, you fools, be of an understanding heart.

The wise in heart will heed commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is of little worth.

They that are of a perverse heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

He that troubles his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace there is joy.

A prudent man conceals knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

Heaviness in the heart of man makes him stoop: but a good word makes him glad.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

Good understanding gives favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

The heart knows its own bitterness; and a stranger does not share its joy.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is grief.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from above himself.

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Wisdom rests in the heart of him that has understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones healthy.

The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though they join hand in hand, none shall be unpunished.

A man's heart plans his way: but the LORD directs his steps.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart for it?

He that has a crooked heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into calamity.

A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may express itself.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility.

The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the LORD.

There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the inner depths of the heart.

Blows of a wound cleanse away evil: as do stripes the inner depths of the heart.

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turns it wherever he will.

A haughty look, a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

He that loves pureness of heart and has grace on his lips, the king shall be his friend.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you.

Apply your heart unto instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Let not your heart envy sinners: but be in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

Your eyes shall behold strange things, and your heart shall utter perverse things.

For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that weighs the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

As he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.

Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

When he speaks graciously, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproaches me.

As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man to man.

Happy is the man that is reverent always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into calamity.

He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be prospered.

He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whosoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no lack of gain.

And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this severe burden has God given to the sons of man to be afflicted with.

I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have come to greatness, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

And I set my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is like grasping the wind.

I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

I sought in my heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men, which they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

And whatsoever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my reward of all my labor.

Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
