20They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.


In Context

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord , and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
