'Purposes' in the Bible

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example],Nor stand in the path of sinners,Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers).

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

O Lord, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!

All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.

I will cry to God Most High,Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].

The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.

So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
