Psalms 5:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For; or, but; or, surely. In wickedness; or, in wicked men. Thou dost not approve of nor delight in them, or in their prayers, but dost hate and wilt destroy them, as it here follows: compare Proverbs 17:15. And this he saith partly for the conviction and discouragement of his enemies, who were such; and partly for his own vindication, to show that he was not such a wicked man as they falsely and maliciously represented him. Dwell with thee, i.e. have any friendship, or fellowship, or quiet abode with thee, as those that dwell together usually have one with another.

Psalms 5:4

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
