Psalms 56:13

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Trust in God removes fear of what people can do, replacing dread of human power with confidence in divine care. The one whose inner life has been rescued from death stands under binding vows to the Rescuer, and that obligation is to be met with offerings of thanks to God. The same God who delivered from death will also keep the feet from slipping, so that falling does not undo the rescue. Kept upright in this way, the delivered person is enabled to walk before God in the light of the living, a life of praise and obedience that answers the mercy received.
