All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods! Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O LORD. For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods. O you who love the LORD, hate evil!
That last sentence sounds like a statement that defines a test. Do I hate evil? Then I must love the Lord. Do I love the Lord, then I must hate evil? But I must not hate the evil doer, his deeds. My call is to demonstrate the love of the Lord, God Almighty and the power of the sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
