I will set no wicked (H1100) thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked (H7451) person. (Psalm 101:3-4)

wicked - H1100 - From H1097 and H3276; without profit, worthlessness; by extension destruction, wickedness (often in connection with H376, H802, H1121, etc.).

• H1097 - From H1086; properly failure, that is, nothing or destruction; usually (with preposition) without, not yet, because not, as long as, etc.
• H3276 - A primitive root; properly to ascend; figuratively to be valuable (objective useful, subjective benefited).

H7451 - From H7489; bad or (as noun) evil (naturally or morally). This includes the second (feminine) form; as adjective or noun.

• H7489 - A primitive root; properly to spoil (literally by breaking to pieces); figuratively to make (or be) good for nothing, that is, bad (physically, socially or morally). (associate selves and show self friendly are by mistake for H7462.).

And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. (2 Samuel 5:13)

I am sitting here wondering how dense I am as it regards the commands of God.  I don't know how much easier the command was to NOT multiply wives, yet he did.

Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.  (Deuteronomy 17:17)

So what am I doing, or not doing in opposition to something that Father has clearly stated.  Thinking about it...David was a man after HIS own heart too.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.  (Acts 13:22)

Have you ever wondered what Father may say about you?  How we might be viewed?  Will we hear:

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.  (Matthew 25:23)

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.  (Psalm 139:21-22)

I can't imagine saying something like that in today's PC world.  To tell someone who is a god hater that they are hated would most definitely get you into a lot of hot water.

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.  (Psalm 7:11)

angry - H2194 - A primitive root; properly to foam at the mouth, that is, to be enraged.

enraged - to make extremely angry; put into a rage; infuriate.

Pretty intense feelings there.

Would that our cry be that of our brother David:

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  (Psalm 139:23-24)
