15. My body was not hid from thee, even though I was made in secret and brought together in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which were then formed, without lacking one of them.
17. Therefore, how precious 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 I not hate all those, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22. I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies.
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts
24. and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way eternal.
