'Thought' in the Bible
Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”
Even though I am afflicted and needy,Still the Lord takes thought and is mindful of me.You are my help and my rescuer.O my God, do not delay.
We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God,In the midst of Your temple.
Their inward thought is that their houses will continue forever,And their dwelling places to all generations;They have named their lands after their own names [ignoring God].
“These things you have done and I kept silent;You thought that I was just like you.Now I will reprimand and denounce you and state the case in order before your eyes.
They devise acts of injustice, saying,“We are ready with a well-conceived plan.”For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep (mysterious, unsearchable).
I will give thanks to You with an upright heart,When I learn [through discipline] Your righteous judgments [for my transgressions].
You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];You understand my thought from afar.
