Bible Answer: "You hate all who do iniquity. "

In the following passage from Psalm 5, note the use of the words "not...Nor...not...hate...destroy...abhors."

NASB Psalms
5:4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.
5:5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.
5:6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

"These 3 negatively phrased descriptions follow 3 directly stated affirmations. This reveals God's perfect standard of justice both in principle and in practice" (p. 746, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).

Ps 7:11 KJV "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day."

Rom 5:1 ASV "Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;"

The sinner may think he is not at war with God, but God is most certainly at war with the sinner. "*peace with God.* Not a subjective, internal sense of calm and serenity, but an external, objective reality. God has declared Himself to be at war with every human being because of man's sinful rebellion against Him and His law (Rom 5:10; compare Rom 1:18; 8:7; Ex 22:24; Deut 32:21,22; Ps 7:11, John 3:36; Eph 5:6)" (p. 1700, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).
