6 Seek the LORD while He may be found;

call on Him while He is near.

1 "I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me;

I was found by those who did not seek Me.*

To a nation that did not call My name,

I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’

29 He gives power to the faint

and increases the strength of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall.

31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength;

they will mount up with wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not faint.

11 Seek out the LORD and His strength;

seek His face always.

11 Seek out the LORD and His strength;

seek His face always.

9 As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded. 2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 3 For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law. 4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them. 5 In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts. 6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity. 7 But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded."

8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded* the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple. 9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back. 12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. 13 And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman. 14 They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.

16 King Asa also removed his grandmother* Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 17 The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days. 18 And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.

19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

29 "Is not My word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that smashes a rock?"

29 But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

for I have sought Your precepts.

4 Seek out the LORD and His strength;

8 My heart said, "Seek His face."

Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

O God, You are my God.

Earnestly I seek You;

my soul thirsts for You.

My body yearns for You

in a dry and weary land without water.

7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10 Those who know Your name trust in You,

for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me;

He delivered me from all my fears.

10 Young lions go lacking and hungry,

but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

4 Delight yourself in the LORD,

and He will give you the desires of your heart.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven

upon the sons of men

to see if any understand,

if any seek God.

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

O LORD, You have searched me

and known me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;

You understand my thoughts from afar.

and vindication from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him,

who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.*

6 and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. But he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

28 Then Samson called out to the LORD: "O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes."

than to trust in man.
