Psalm 139:17-24

World English Bible

¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
    How vast is their sum!
¹⁸ If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
    When I wake up, I am still with you.
¹⁹ If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
    Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
²⁰ For they speak against you wickedly.
    Your enemies take your name in vain.
²¹ Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you?
    Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
²² I hate them with perfect hatred.
    They have become my enemies.
²³ Search me, God, and know my heart.
    Try me, and know my thoughts.
²⁴ See if there is any wicked way in me,
    and lead me in the everlasting way.
