Chris.
The wicked are lying in wait. Even they are lying in wait for God's People. They do this so that they can prosper. This is why the people of God need protection. These wicked people obtain riches by unjust means. They put pressure on the people of God to unjustly obtain riches from them. God's People are simple, humble and pure, and their leaders should be the same. People who amass wealth by unjust means will never be blessed, and, many times their plans fail.
