Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
