Psalms 139:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 139:22

I hate them with perfect hatred
Heartily and really; not in word only, but in deed and in truth; "odio vatiniano", with consummate hatred: this is an answer to his own question;

I count them mine enemies;
being the enemies of God: the friends of God were David's friends, as angels and good men, and God's enemies were his; their friends and enemies, were common; so closely allied and attached were they to each other, as God and all good men are.

Psalms 139:22 In-Context

20 the people who talk about you, but only for wicked schemes; the people who are your enemies, who use your name as if it were of no significance.

21 Don't I hate everyone who hates you? Don't I despise those who attack you?

22 Yes, I hate them—through and through! They've become my enemies too.

23 Examine me, God! Look at my heart! Put me to the test! Know my anxious thoughts!

24 Look to see if there is any idolatrous way in me, then lead me on the eternal path!
