Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
God widens the ground under the feet to give secure footing so that the feet do not slip. Stability is a gift of divine support, with firm standing provided from beneath rather than secured by human effort. The enlarged place for the steps both prevents slipping and opens room to advance.
Taken together with its neighboring declarations of divine salvation, upholding, and gentleness, the promise shows that strength and steadiness come from God and not from self-exaltation. By granting this firm footing and space to move, God enables His servants to go forward with confidence. That same support keeps them upright and unfaltering in their appointed work.
