20 They (A)speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies (B)take your name in vain.[a]
21 (C)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not (D)loathe those who (E)rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

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