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. -Psalms 139:23-24 David is asking to be examined, Proved and tested. Admirable since that would mean risking trials and hardships. Explanation on Bible hub is even more intense; And see if there be any wicked way in me; literally, any way of grief. Ways of grief are ways which lead to grief, which involve either bitter repentance or severe chastisement. And lead me in the way everlasting; i.e. either the way that leadeth to everlasting life, or the good old way, the way that endures - the way of righteousness. David, with all his faults, is one of those who hunger and thirst after righteousness (Matthew 5:6). This is why he was a man after Gods own heart. Wow!
