Psalms 139:20 Context
18If I should count them, they are moe in number then the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20For they speake against thee wickedly: and thine enemies take thy name in vaine. 21Doe not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieued with those that rise vp against thee? 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
