Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

139:22 mine enemies. We should love our personal enemies (Matthew 5:44), but hate with perfect hatred (i.e., Godly hatred) those who have made themselves enemies of God.


139:23 know my thoughts. The psalmist David prayed (and so should we) that God would discover and remove any “wicked way” even in his thought-life.
