17. God, how difficult Your thoughts arefor me to comprehend;how vast their sum is!
18. If I counted them,they would outnumber the grains of sand; when I wake up, I am still with You.
19. God, if only You would kill the wicked —you bloodthirsty men, stay away from me —
20. who invoke You deceitfully.Your enemies swear by You falsely.
21. Lord, don’t I hate those who hate You,and detest those who rebel against You?
22. I hate them with extreme hatred;I consider them my enemies.
23. Search me, God, and know my heart;test me and know my concerns.
24. See if there is any offensive way in me;lead me in the everlasting way.
