17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
         
                                
                        18 If I should count them, they are more in number than       the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.
         
                                
                        19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
         
                                
                        20 For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take [thy name] in vain.
         
                                
                        21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
         
                                
                        22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies.
         
                                
                        23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts;
