Psalms 139:23

[David ends the psalm with the same verb he uses in the introduction, see verses 1b-2, but with an appeal instead of the indicative form "You search me and know me":]
Search (examine, scrutinize) me, God (El),
and know (become intimately acquainted with; be personally involved in) my heart (my innermost being). [Ps. 26:2]
Test (examine, try) me [as silver and gold are refined, see Ps. 66:10; Prov 17:3]
and know [take care of] my troubled thoughts (my anxiety – Hebr. saraf).
[The Hebr. word meaning "troubled thoughts" is in the plural and is used only here and in Ps. 94:19.]
