The Psalmist's Quesions

"Who probes minds and hearts?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?

Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.

Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting."
