The Heart in the Psalms
The Hebrew words leb and lebab (both meaning “heart”) are hard to translate because they rarely refer to the physical human heart. Rather, these terms usually refer to the center of one’s being, an image for a person’s thought life, reflections, and will. The story of the heart reveals a person’s commitment and direction in life.
The hearts of the wicked are cunning and scheming (Ps 58:2; 64:6; 140:2). The wicked are deceptive, hypocritical, greedy, jealous, and lacking in integrity (10:3; 28:3; 41:6; 55:21; 62:4; 141:4). As time goes on, they become more arrogant, callous, and stubborn (14:1; 17:10; 73:7; 78:8; 81:12; 95:8, 10; 101:5; 119:70). The wicked are only committed to themselves (78:37), and their destructive way of life (5:9) leads to their own destruction.
Meanwhile, the psalmists openly confess their sorrow, trouble, anguish, and despair (13:2; 22:14; 25:17; 38:8, 10; 40:12; 55:4; 61:2; 69:20; 73:21, 26; 109:22; 143:4; 147:3). Through their pain, their hearts grow. They pray intensely (62:8; 119:145), long for God (84:2), trust in him (28:7), and open their hearts to God’s examination (7:9; 17:3; 26:2; 139:1-6, 23). Their commitment does not waver, and their hearts are pure (24:4; 51:10; 73:1, 13) and contented (131:1), even when broken. As their broken hearts (34:17-18; 51:17) are healed by the Lord (147:3), they become strong, confident (27:3, 14; 31:24; 57:7; 108:1; 112:7-8; 138:3), and full of life (22:26; 69:32). In the end, the Lord satisfies them and gives them the desires of their hearts (20:4; 21:2; 37:4). This fills the godly with joy and praise (4:7; 9:1; 13:5; 16:7, 9; 19:8; 30:11-12; 33:21; 86:12; 89:50; 102:4; 105:3; 111:1; 119:7, 111; 138:1).
