16. Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed--And not one among them.
17. And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!
18. I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.
19. Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
20. Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.
21. Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?
22. [With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.
