If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

Psalms 139:19 in context
Psalms 139:16–22
16
Your eyes saw my body.
In your book they were all written,
the days that were ordained for me,
when as yet there were none of them.
17
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is their sum!
18
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you.
19
Selected verse
If only you, God, would kill the wicked.
Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20
For they speak against you wickedly.
Your enemies take your name in vain.
21
LORD, don’t I hate those who hate you?
Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
22
I hate them with perfect hatred.
They have become my enemies.
