For, &c.--God only regards sincere worshippers. evil--or, "the evil man." dwell--lodge, remain under protection.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

There is a particular emphasis laid on these sinners ( Rev. xxi. 8 ), All liars, and ( Ps. xxii. 15 ), Whosoever loves and makes a lie; nothing is more contrary than this, and therefore nothing more hateful to the God of truth. [2.] Those that are cruel: Thou wilt abhor the bloody man; for inhumanity is no less contrary, no less hateful, to the God of mercy, whom mercy pleases.
