17 How precious to^a me are your thoughts,¹ O God!² How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them,³ they would outnumber the grains of sand.⁴ When I awake,⁵ I am still with you. 19 If only you would slay the wicked,⁶ O God! Away from me,⁷ you bloodthirsty men!⁸ 20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries⁹ misuse your name.¹⁰ 21 Do I not hate those¹¹ who hate you, O LORD, and abhor¹² those who rise up against you? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.¹³ 23 Search me,¹⁴ O God, and know my heart;¹⁵ test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way¹⁶ in me, and lead me¹⁷ in the way everlasting.
