16 Your eyes saw my imperfection, and all this shall be written in your book. Days will be formed, and no one shall be in them.
17 But to me, O God, your friends have been greatly honored. Their first ruler has been exceedingly strengthened.
18 I will number them, and they will be more numerous than the sand. I rose up, and I am still with you.
19 O God, if only you would cut down sinners. You men of blood: depart from me.
20 For you say in thought: They will accept your cities in vain.
21 Have I not hated those who hated you, Lord, and wasted away because of your enemies?
22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.
