'Sought' in the Bible

I sought the Lord, and He answered me,And delivered me from all my fears.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;I sought for him, but he could not be found.

For strangers have risen against meAnd violent men have sought my life;They have not set God before them. Selah.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness;My soul refused to be comforted.

When He killed them, then they sought Him,And returned and searched diligently for God;

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,And a band of violent men have sought my life,And they have not set You before them.

With all my heart I have sought You;Do not let me wander from Your commandments.

I am Yours, save me;For I have sought Your precepts.
