Psalm 11:5
The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. (Psalm 11:5)
Trieth the righteous.
God tests all men, even the righteous, but when He approves the righteous, His care is assured.
Hateth.
 Because of His nature God finds evil hateful. Its existence in men is loathsome. The idea is expressed in human language, in which sin and the sinner are considered identical (see Isa. 1:14; see on Ps. 2:4).
