Consider carefully what is before youMy inmost being The phrase "my inmost being" refers to the deepest part of a person, often associated with the heart or soul. In Hebrew, the word used here is "כִּלְיוֹתַי" (kil'yotai), which can be translated as "kidneys" in a literal sense, but metaphorically it represents the seat of emotions and moral character. In ancient Hebrew thought, the kidneys were considered the center of one's emotional and moral life, much like the heart is viewed in modern Western culture. This phrase emphasizes the profound joy and satisfaction that comes from witnessing righteousness and truth, suggesting that such joy is not superficial but deeply rooted in one's core being. will rejoice when your lips speak what is right Parallel Commentaries ...
