Psalm 139:17-23
New International Version
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a](A) God!(B)
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,(C)
they would outnumber the grains of sand(D)—
when I awake,(E) I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!(F)
Away from me,(G) you who are bloodthirsty!(H)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries(I) misuse your name.(J)
21 Do I not hate those(K) who hate you, Lord,
and abhor(L) those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.(M)
23 Search me,(N) God, and know my heart;(O)
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
