Context of Psalms 36:10
8They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream. 9For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light. Spread your faithful love over those who know you, and your righteousness over the upright in heart. 11Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12There! The evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down and cannot rise.
