17. How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! [Ps. 40:5.]
18. If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You.
19. If You would [only] slay the wicked, O God, and the men of blood depart from me–[Isa. 11:4.]
20. Who speak against You wickedly, Your enemies who take Your name in vain! [Jude 15.]
21. Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And am I not grieved and do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22. I hate them with perfect hatred; they have become my enemies.
