The arrogance of the wicked

In Psalm 36, it starts with the character of those who are arrogant.  They think so highly of themselves that they do not see the wickedness that they do.  They only look to themselves, plotting any way to get ahead, even if it's against the Lord's wishes.

Starting in verse 5, the Lord takes the faithful and leads the way for them.  The faithful takes refuge in God and is filled with the fountain of everlasting life.

In verse 11, it reads: "May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away."  Those who are sinful will try to wedge themselves in the faithful, to drive them from their love of God.  But those who are faithful, keeping His love, will be shielded by His glory.
