17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! 20 They speak against you with malicious intent; Your enemies take your name in vain. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. ♪ 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, And lead me in the way. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting! And lead me in the way everlasting!
