23 Set watch over and guard thy lev with all diligence;

for out of it are the totze’ot chayyim (issues, wellsprings of life).*

26 Beni (my son), give me thine lev,

and let thine eynayim delight in my drakhim.

1 Beni (my son), forget not my torah;

but let thine lev keep my mitzvot;

2 For orekh yamim (length of days), and shnot chayyim,

and shalom, shall they add to thee.

45 The ish tov from the good storehouse of the lev produces tov, and the ish rah out of the evil storehouse produces rah. For from the abundance of the lev the peh (mouth) speaks.

10 Make me to hear sasson and simchah;

that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

8 Ashrey are those of LEV TAHOR* [12] (pure heart), for they will see Hashem.

23 Search me, O El, and know my levav;

test me, and know my thoughts;

24 And see if there be any derech otzev (torturous crooked road) in me,

and lead me in the Derech Olam.

2 Examine me, Hashem, and prove me;

try my heart and my mind.

3 For Thy chesed is before mine eyes;

and I have walked in Thy emes.

3 Thou hast probed mine lev;

Thou hast visited me in the lailah;

Thou hast tested me and shalt find nothing;

I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

4 Concerning the works of men,

by the Devar of Thy lips

I have kept myself from the paths of the cruel.

5 Uphold my goings in Thy paths,

that my footsteps stumble not.

7 They have prepared a reshet (net) for my steps;

my nefesh is bowed down;

they have dug a pit before me,

into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves.

Selah

2 Stop allowing yourself to be conformed to the Olam Hazeh, but be transformed by your hitkhadshut (regeneration, renewal) of your mind, so that you may ascertain what is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of G-d.

8 This Sefer HaTorah shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate on it yomam valailah so that thou mayest be shomer to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy derech prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

10 With my kol lev have I sought Thee;

O let me not wander from Thy mitzvot.

11 Thy word have I hid in my lev,

lema’an (so that) I might not sin against Thee.

5 And thou shalt love Hashem Eloheicha b’chol levavcha uvechol nafshecha uvechol modecha. 6 And these devarim, which I command thee today, shall be in thine lev;

46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the devarim which I testify among you today, which ye shall command your banim to be shomer to do, kol divrei hatorah hazot.

6 Be anxious in nothing,* but in everything by tefillah and by techinnah (supplication) with hodayah (thanksgiving), let your requests be made known before Hashem, 7 And the shalom Hashem,* surpassing all binah (understanding), will guard your levavot and your machshavot (thoughts) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

8 Draw near to Hashem and Hashem will draw near to you. Cleanse your yadayim (hands), you chote’im (sinners)! And purify your levavot, you anashim of double mind!*

8 You must also have savlanut. Strengthen your levavot, because the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of Moshiach Adoneinu, has drawn near.

1 If therefore you were made to stand up alive in hitkhadshut with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, seek the things above, where Moshiach is, LI’MIN ELOHIM,* sitting at the right hand of Hashem.
