Psalms 139:23
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
