17. How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God!How vast is their sum total!
18. If I tried to count them,they would outnumber the grains of sand.Even if I finished counting them,I would still have to contend with you.
19. If only you would kill the wicked, O God!Get away from me, you violent men!
20. They rebel against you and act deceitfully;your enemies lie.
21. O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you,and despise those who oppose you?
22. I absolutely hate them,they have become my enemies!
23. Examine me, and probe my thoughts!Test me, and know my concerns!
24. See if there is any idolatrous tendency in me,and lead me in the reliable ancient path!
