Psalms 5:4

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

For - the ground of his hope. Deliverance from his enemies is the object of his prayer. His enemies are wicked (Psalms 5:9), therefore God will deliver him, as being a sincere worshipper, from them.

For thou art not a God, х 'Eel (H410), here first: "The Mighty One"]

That hath pleasure in wickedness. Seven expressions portray the ungodly (Psalms 5:4): 'wickedness: evil: the foolish: workers of iniquity: them that speak evil: the bloody: deceitful man.' Again, seven in Psalms 5:9: 'No faithfulness in their mouth: their inward part very wickedness: their throat an open sepulchre: they flatter with their tongue: their own counsels: multitude of transgressions: rebelled against thee.' Seven expresses consummated totality.

Neither shall evil dwell with thee, [Hebrew: guwr (H1481): 'sojourn with thee'] - neither shall evil be received by thee as a pilgrim, to sojourn even for a time in thy tabernacle (Psalms 15:1; Psalms 61:4). He who would dwell with God must be holy, as God is holy (1 Peter 1:16).
