'Sought' in the Bible

To Thee said my heart 'They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.

If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.

And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

I am Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.

Far from the wicked is salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.
