I have to say this, but there is no Biblical distinction between the heart and the mind.

“The second word translated in the TLV above as “heart” is actually kilyot, so David is saying his heart was embittered and he was pierced in his kidneys. Now why the kidneys? To be sure there are a few references to the heart AND kidneys both being “tested” or “tried” such as Psa. 7:9; 26:2. But we need to know WHY it mentions the kidneys. We already determined that the heart is the seat of the mind, and that is where thoughts and intentions take place. Similarly, the kidneys are the seat of deep emotion.”

But in ENGLISH, we don’t think of the heart as being the “mind” or the kidneys being the “heart”.
