## In Jewish tradition

In Psalms it means a heart wholly given to God, with no part held back.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads this as a prayer for a whole heart, loyal to God's laws alone and not pulled in two directions, so that one need not be ashamed.

### Examples

- Let my heart be undivided in Thy statutes, in order that I may not be put to shame. (Writings PSA.119.80, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/U/undivided/#x1)
