Psalm 139:17-24

New American Standard Bible

¹⁷ How precious also are Your ^(A)thoughts for me, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ Were I to count them, they would ^(B)outnumber the sand.
When ^(C)I awake, I am still with You.

¹⁹ If only You would ^(D)put the wicked to death, God;
^(E)Leave me, ^(F)you men of bloodshed.
²⁰ For they ^(G)speak ^[a]against You wickedly,
And Your enemies ^[b](H)take Your name in vain.
²¹ Do I not ^(I)hate those who hate You, Lord?
And do I not ^(J)loathe those who rise up against You?
²² I hate them with the utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.

^23 (K)Search me, God, and know my heart;
^(L)Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts;
²⁴ And see if there is any ^[c](M)hurtful way in me,
And ^(N)lead me in the ^(O)everlasting way.
