Psalms 36:11

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

Let not the foot of pride ... against me - so as suddenly to tread me down. "Come upon" implies a surprise, an one taken in a net (Psalms 35:7). The wicked foes are represented as "pride" itself embodied. Compare Jeremiah 51:23; Jeremiah 51:31.

Let not the hand ... remove me - from my land, which is thy land. David had been forced to flee before Saul and Absalom successively (2 Kings 21:8). Or rather, as in Psalms 11:1, note, the removing is not one of mere position, but 'let not the wicked supplant me from my firm spiritual standing.' As the foot treads down, so the hand 'removes.'
