16
Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written--even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17
How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O G-d! How great is the sum of them!
18
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.
19
If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O G-d--depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;
20
Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies--
21
Do not I hate them, O HaShem, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?
22
I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.
23
Search me, O G-d, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;
24
And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.
