David here is talking about those who choose to sit down and make their "abode" with those who mock truth. Have you ever spent much time around those who mock righteousness and ridicule what God says is true? A Christian usually becomes a bit upset or angry at such boastings if it is overt in nature. However, we can be guilty of allowing lesser slights of our Lord to slide for the sake of "peace." Standing up for what is true is not always an easy thing to do.
Peace is a good thing as long as its preservation doesn't require sacrifice of what is true. Ignoring ignorance or picking our "battles" can be a sign of wisdom but we should be very careful not to allow ourselves to be numbered with those who malign God's truth for to do so is to strengthen the rebellion of those who war against the Lord God Almighty!
James
