Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.
22
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
