A Word

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23–24BSB

What it means

After a psalm about being fully known, David asks to be known further. He invites the searching, because being led in the everlasting way is worth whatever is found.

The close of Psalm 139, which begins: O LORD, You have searched me and known me. David ends by asking for what is already true.

Where it addresses you

  • You are unsure what is really going on in your heart.

  • You want to be led but suspect something is in the way.
