16. Your eyes saw me when I was only a fetus.Every day ⌊of my life⌋ was recorded in your bookbefore one of them had taken place.
17. How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God!How vast in number they are!
18. If I try to count them,there would be more of them than there are grains of sand.When I wake up, I am still with you.
19. I wish that you would kill wicked people, O God,and that bloodthirsty people would leave me alone.
20. They say wicked things about you.Your enemies misuse your name.
21. Shouldn’t I hate those who hate you, O Lord?Shouldn’t I be disgusted with those who attack you?
22. I hate them with all my heart.They have become my enemies.
23. Examine me, O God, and know my mind.Test me, and know my thoughts.
24. See whether I am on an evil path.Then lead me on the everlasting path.
