Psalm 139:20 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 139.

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.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.
