Psalm 139:17-24

English Standard Version

¹⁷ How precious to me are your ^(A)thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
^18 (B)If I would count them, they are more than ^(C)the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

¹⁹ Oh that you would ^(D)slay the wicked, O God!
    O ^(E)men of blood, ^(F)depart from me!
²⁰ They ^(G)speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies ^(H)take your name in vain.^[a]
21 (I)Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not ^(J)loathe those who ^(K)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!
    ^(L)Try me and know my thoughts!^[b]
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and ^(M)lead me in ^(N)the way everlasting!^[c]
