This Psalm starts by describing the sinfulness of the wicked and then the goodness of God.
The wicked have no fear of God, no respect for Him. Instead they exalt themselves. Exalting, or flattering, themselves makes them blind to their own sin. Their words end up being worthless. They spend all their time planning and doing wrong.
In contrast the Lord's love is without limit, as is His righteousness. Note that two things that atheists often claim is that God is evil and His ways are not right.
God's love is the best thing over all else. We can take refuge in Him and feed of His love. Whatever our situation we should seek the Lord and delight in Him.
While we need to beware of having a self-righteous attitude, we also need to be fully aware of the effects of sin.
