The thoughts of the wicked are detestable to GOD, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him. ~ (Proverbs 15:26)

Our thoughts are unknown to men, but known to God. He hates it when we harbor evil thoughts against others.  The thoughts, prayers, praise and words from a good heart are pleasurable to Him.

NOTE:

WHO IS A WICKED PERSON?

According to the Bible, we are considered 'wicked' if we are:  immoral, unrighteous, ungodly (i.e. refusing the Gift of Salvation), jealous, malicious, corrupt;  basically going against everything the Gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST teaches (as contained in the New Testament), and any of the Eternal Laws of GOD (also known as the Ten Commandments).
If you are not a Christian or not yet born-again, there is good news. GOD does not want to see anyone punished and ultimately spend eternity in hell (Ezekiel 33:11).  There is a way to escape His wrath.  The way is, taking the first step to pursue righteous, which is accepting the Gift of Salvation by faith in JESUS CHRIST, who died on the cross of Calvary for our sins.   His Blood cleanses us of all manner of sins (1 John 1:7).  We are made righteous, only when we surrender our lives to Him completely.  He then empowers us to live a lifestyle of holiness, through the Holy Spirit.

GOD detests the way of the wicked, but loves those who pursue righteousness. ~ (Proverbs 15:9)

It is impossible to encounter GOD without righteousness.  A wicked person can never find favor with Him, unless he turns away from his sins.
However, GOD has no pleasure in the death of a sinner or a wicked fellow.  He does not wish to see anyone perish in hell.  All He requires of us is to turn away from our wicked or sinful nature and pursue righteousness, so we may have eternal life (Ezekiel 33:11).  
NOTE:
How can we pursue righteousness?
IF THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED A WICKED/SINFUL LIFESTYLE SURRENDER TO JESUS CHRIST AND FORSAKE THEIR WAYS, THEY SHALL BE SAVED, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE, SIZE, OR EXTENT OF THEIR SINS.
The first step to pursuing righteousness is to accept JESUS CHRIST as our LORD and SAVIOR.  His Blood, which was shed on the Cross of Calvary as payment for our sins, cleanses us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7)
No one can have access to the Only True GOD and make it to Heaven without surrendering to JESUS CHRIST (John 14:6). Likewise, no one can please a perfect GOD by his own strength and morality - JESUS CHRIST is our Righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30).  We are made righteous, only when we surrender our lives to Him completely. He then empowers us to live a lifestyle of holiness, through the Holy Spirit.
Surrendering your life to JESUS is not as complicated as you thought.
