Commentary on Psalms 5:4
This verse declares God's absolute holiness and incompatibility with evil. The Hebrew 'chaphets' (pleasure) indicates not mere tolerance but active delight - God takes no pleasure in wickedness. 'Evil shall not dwell with thee' uses temple imagery - nothing impure can abide in God's holy presence. This foundational truth establishes the doctrine of God's holiness and the impossibility of fellowship between light and darkness (1 John 1:5-6). It underscores why atonement is necessary - sinners cannot stand before this holy God apart from Christ's righteousness.
