'Thoughts' in the Bible
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his face, will not seek nor inquire for Him;All his thoughts are, “There is no God [so there is no accountability or punishment].”
The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations.
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done,And Your thoughts toward us;There is none to compare with You.If I would declare and speak of your wonders,They would be too many to count.
All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things;All their thoughts are against me for evil.
How great are Your works, O Lord!Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding].
The Lord knows the thoughts of man,That they are a mere breath (vain, empty, futile).
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,Your comforts delight me.
Samekh.I hate those who are double-minded,But I love and treasure Your law.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!How vast is the sum of them!
Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;Test me and know my anxious thoughts;
When his spirit leaves him, he returns to the earth;In that very day his thoughts and plans perish.
