In biblical context, pride is often associated with rebellion against God (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>). The "foot" symbolizes power and dominance, suggesting a desire to avoid being trampled or oppressed by those who are haughty. Historically, the proud often refers to those in positions of power who misuse their authority, as seen in the actions of figures like Pharaoh in Exodus. Theologically, this can be seen as a request for divine intervention to prevent the proud from hindering the righteous path, echoing the sentiment found in <a href="/psalms/73.htm">Psalm 73</a>, where the prosperity of the wicked is a source of distress for the psalmist.<p><b>nor the hand of the wicked drive me away</b><br>The "hand" here symbolizes action and influence. The wicked are those who act contrary to God's laws, often causing harm or leading others astray. This plea is for protection from being forced out or displaced by evil actions, reminiscent of the Israelites' experiences with surrounding nations who sought to lead them away from their covenant with God. In a broader biblical narrative, this reflects the ongoing struggle between good and evil, where the righteous seek refuge in God to avoid being overpowered by malevolent forces. This theme is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to stand firm against the schemes of the devil (<a href="/ephesians/6-11.htm">Ephesians 6:11</a>). The request for protection from the wicked can also be seen as a type of Christ, who ultimately delivers believers from evil through His sacrifice and resurrection.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>- Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/36.htm">Psalm 36</a>, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep relationship with God and his psalms of worship and lament.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_proud.htm">The Proud</a></b><br>- This term refers to those who are arrogant and self-reliant, often in opposition to God's ways.
