18 If I should go to number them ‖ more man the Sand they grow. ‖ When I awake out of my sleep, ‖ then I am still with thee. ‖
19 O God, Thou wilt most certainly ‖ destroy the wicked one; ‖ And now you that are bloody Men, ‖ Do you depart from me. ‖
20 These are they who against thee speak ‖ abominable stuff; ‖ They who are enemies to thee ‖ are such as sweat in vain. ‖
21 Do not I hate those who do hate ‖ Thee, O ETERNAL God? ‖ Those who do up against thee rife, ‖ be'nt I offended at? ‖
