Examine me

This is a request for God to tell the psalmist about any sinful thoughts that he may have. Alternate translation: "Please search me" or "I beg you to search me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

Examine me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts

These two sentences have similar meanings. The second one strengthens the thought in the first. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
