19 Oh that you would (A)slay the wicked, O God!

    your enemies (E)take your name in vain.[a]
21 (F)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not (G)loathe those who (H)rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

    (B)seven that are an abomination to him:
17 (C)haughty eyes, (D)a lying tongue,
    and (E)hands that shed innocent blood,
18 (F)a heart that devises wicked plans,
    (G)feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 (H)a false witness who (I)breathes out lies,
    and one who (J)sows discord among brothers.
