Bible verse
O God, that You would slay the wicked—away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
Psalm 139:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 139.
15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!
18 If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.
19 O God, that You would slay the wicked—away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
20 who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.
