19. If only You would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloody men!
20. For they speak about You with wicked intent. Your enemies reproach You in vain.
21. Do I not hate those who hate You, Adonai? Do I not loathe those who rise against You?
22. I hate them with total hatred— I consider them my enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me, and know my anxious thoughts,
24. and see if there be any offensive way within me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
