14. and I praise you because ofthe wonderful wayyou created me.Everything you do is marvellous!Of this I have no doubt.
15. Nothing about meis hidden from you!I was secretly woven togetherdeep in the earth below,
16. but with your own eyes you sawmy body being formed.Even before I was born,you had written in your bookeverything I would do.
17. Your thoughts are far beyondmy understanding,much more than Icould ever imagine.
18. I try to count your thoughts,but they outnumber the grainsof sand on the beach.And when I awake,I will find you nearby.
19. How I wish that you would killall cruel and heartless peopleand protect me from them!
20. They are always rebellingand speaking evil of you.
21. You know I hate anyonewho hates you, Lord,and refuses to obey.
22. They are my enemies too,and I truly hate them.
23. Look deep into my heart, God,and find out everythingI am thinking.
24. Don't let me follow evil ways,but lead me in the waythat time has proved true.
