17How precious are your thoughts to me, God! How vast is their sum!
18If I tried to count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19If only you would kill the wicked, God; get away from me, you violent men.
20They rebel against you and act deceitfully; your enemies tell lies.
21Do I not hate those, Yahweh, who hate you? Do I not despise those who rise up against you?
22I hate them completely; they have become my enemies.
23Examine me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts.
24See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
