The concept of "perfect" or appropriate "hatred" helps us understand God's wrath and His hating Esau mal0103. Here I see hatred not as anger against evil people but a sense of their wickedness and zeal for the name of the Lord. If they are God's enemies, David says they will be his, too.
Psalms: 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
.21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
