There they are in great dread, for God is with the righteous generation.
Psalm 14:5
In the beginning of the chapter, David discusses how it seems like everyone has turned away from God, and there is no one left who serves God. But, then, it seems, he remembers the fear that wicked people live in. Even though they look bold and confident, it's not real. They don't have power against the righteous people because God protects them. Evil forces know and respect God's protection. When we are in God's will, He puts a hedge of protection around us just like He did for Job.
So, how can I be sure that I stay within that protection? How can I know that God is protecting me? How can I have the confidence of knowing God is empowering me?
Lord, thank You for your protection. Thank You that You are with the righteous. Help me to stay close to You and within that hedge of protection. Help me to never do anything that would allow evil to have access to my life. I praise You for the complete confidence and power that I can have through you. Help me not to fear evil but to have a proper fear and reverence for You.
