Psalm 139:19-24

¹⁹Oh that you would ^(A)slay the wicked, O God!
    O ^(B)men of blood, ^(C)depart from me!
²⁰They ^(D)speak against you with malicious intent;
    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?
²²I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

²³Search me, O God, and know my heart!
^(I)Try me and know my thoughts!^[b]
²⁴And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and ^(J)lead me in ^(K)the way everlasting!^[c]

English Standard Version

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(A)earth and sky fled away, and ^(B)no place was found for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(C)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(D)the book of life. And ^(E)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(F)according to what they had done. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(G)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(H)according to what they had done. ¹⁴Then ^(I)Death and Hades ^(J)were thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^(K)the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, ^(L)he was thrown into the lake of fire.
