For the music director, a psalm of David.
139:1 O Lord, you examine me
139:2 You know when I sit down and when I get up;
even from far away you understand my motives.
139:21 O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you,
and despise those who oppose you?
139:22 I absolutely hate them,
they have become my enemies!
139:23 Examine me, and probe my thoughts!
Test me, and know my concerns!
139:24 See if there is any idolatrous tendency
and lead me in the reliable ancient path!
