Psalms 139:19

Compare all

17 ^aHow precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

19 Oh, that You would ^aslay the wicked, O God!
^bDepart from me, therefore, you¹ bloodthirsty men.

20 For they ^aspeak against You wickedly;
¹Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 ^aDo I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?

22 I hate them with¹ perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.

23 ^aSearch me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;

24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And ^alead me in the way everlasting.
