Psalms 5:6

"The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity."

Key Reflection

In Psalm 5:6, verses 2 and 3 express that God is a just judge who despises arrogance and sinfulness. Those who are haughty or engage in wickedness will not find favor before Him, highlighting the divine preference for humility and righteousness.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Thou shalt destroy -Thou wilt bring to ruin; thou wilt cause to perish; that is, cause to perish as the wicked are caused to perish, by being punished. The idea is that God could not approve their cause; could not favor them; could not give them prosperity, and that they must be overthrown and punished. As in the previous verses, so here, David refers to this as a general characteristic of God, but with an implied reference to his enemies. Them that speak leasing -Lies; the word “leasing” being the old Saxon word to denote falsehood. SeePsalms 4:2. It is not found elsewhere in our common version.
