Can we as imperfect human beings ever be totally faithful?

"He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose 
walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the 
way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just 
and fair--every good path." --Proverbs 2:7-9

We talk, and I've stated and also thought that things happen in the world 
and we aren't protected from the freewill of others to do damage to us or 
our property. Does not the above scripture state that if we are indeed 
faithful, just and followers, that god will protect  us?

Curious. Perhaps we think we are being just and faithful, when perhaps we 
are not. I mean I could excuse things away and give a boiler plate 
Christian answer, but the fact things happen and we seem to be out of that 
shield of protection at times, sure causes one to strive for more 
faithfulness and justness and to indeed just put God in mind in 
everything, always.
