Psalm 97:10

“Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

KJV

Meaning

This verse develops Psalm 97’s vision of God’s holy kingship and the fitting response of faithful worship.

Psalm 97 exalts God’s judgment; it does not authorize harassment, coercion, or violence by worshipers.

Let its image direct you toward reverence, justice, and faithful conduct rather than fear-driven retaliation.
