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

Verse 4 is found in chapter 5 of Psalms. Psalm 5 is a morning prayer from someone who approaches God while facing the opposition of the wicked. The language of the temple and entering the divine presence contrasts with the lies, violence, and deceit of those who reject the Lord. The psalmist does not base his access on personal merit, but on divine mercy, and ends by describing God’s protection over those who seek refuge in him.

HERR, frühe wollest du meine Stimme hören; frühe will ich mich zu dir schicken und aufmerken.
Porque tú no eres un Dios que ame la maldad: El malo no habitará junto a ti.
Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad; el mal no habita junto a ti.
Car tu n'es point un Dieu qui prenne plaisir au mal; Le méchant n'a pas sa demeure auprès de toi.
Perciocchè tu non sei un Dio che prenda piacere nell’empietà; Il malvagio non può dimorar teco.
Porque tu não és um Deus que tenha prazer na iniqüidade, nem contigo habitará o mal.
因為你不是喜愛邪惡的上帝, 惡人不能與你同住。
