Study note
Setting — The speaker addresses the LORD, recounting past wrongs and pleading for vindication in the midst of communal destruction.
The words — The Hebrew רָאִיתָה (ra'itah) means "you have seen," paired with כָּל (kol) translating to "all" to stress the totality of the hostility.
The thread — The text notes that God observes concealed hostility before acting, a pattern also recorded in Jeremiah 11:19 and Psalm 10:14.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to acknowledge that no plotted malice remains hidden from divine notice prior to any reckoning.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
