Psalms 36:11

“Let not the foot of pride come against me, etc.] Meaning some proud enemy, such an one as Ahithophel, of whom R. Obadiah expounds, it, who lifted up his heel against him; and is applicable to any haughty enemy of Christ and his people, and particularly to antichrist, the man of sin, that exalts himself above all that is called God; and let not the hand of the wicked remove me; either from the house of God; or from his throne, that high station and dignity in which he was placed.”

“foot of . . . hand . . . wicked--all kinds of violent dealing.”

“Let not the foot of pride come against me - The foot of the proud man. The word rendered “come against me” more properly means, “come not upon me;” and the meaning is, Let me not be “trampled down” as they who are vanquished in battle are “trodden down” by their conquerors. Compare the notes at Psalms 18:40. And let not the hand of the wicked remove me - Let no efforts of the wicked do this. The “hand” is the instrument by which we accomplish anything, and the reference here is to the efforts which the wicked might make to destroy him. The prayer is, that he might be “firm” and “unmoved” amid all the attempts which might be made to take his life. return to 'Top of Page'”
