16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained(A) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](B) God!(C)
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(D)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand(E)
    when I awake,(F) I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!(G)
    Away from me,(H) you who are bloodthirsty!(I)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries(J) misuse your name.(K)
