Does God hate Sinners like he hates Sin? I've heard it a thousand times, God loves the sinner but hates the sin. Recently I came across a verse in Psalms 5:5


  Psalm 5:5 (KJV)  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.


Is this a proper translation?
Great question. I think where people often struggle with this is the imposition of the assumption that hate and love are mutually exclusive. This often tends to be the case with us, but it is a result of our sinful nature. God can both hate the sinner for what he does, and still love him in many ways. 

Donald Carson has a great little book (free PDF) called the Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, in which he argues that God's love is not spoken of univocally throughout scripture, but instead that there are multiple perspectives that scripture gives to show us a broader lover than we can see from only one angle. I've reproduced the author's breakdown below.


The peculiar love of the Father for the Son, and of the Son for
the Father.
God’s providential love over all that he has made.
God’s salvific stance toward his fallen world.
God’s particular, effective, selecting love toward his elect.
Finally, God’s love is sometimes said to be directed toward his
own people in a provisional or conditional way—conditioned, that is,
on obedience.


Allowing for a multiperspectival approach to understanding God's Love helps us to see God as simultaneously loving and full of wrath.
