Psalms 36:11 - Exposition

Let not the foot of pride come against me. The mention of "the foot of pride" is noted as a mark of Davidical authorship. "Every psalm of David which speaks of danger points to the pride of his enemies as the source" (Canon Cook). And let not the hand of the wicked remove me ; or, drive me away (Revised Version), i.e. force me into exile, as Absalom's party succeeded for a time in doing ( 2 Samuel 15:13-30 ).
