Psalms 18:37

"You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped."

Key Reflection

In Psalms 18:37, David expresses a profound sense of divine protection and guidance. The phrase "enlarged my steps under me" suggests that God has made way for him by removing obstacles and providing clear paths. This not only prevents his feet from slipping but also ensures his steady progress in the face of challenges, reflecting a deep trust in God's care and provision.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them -He had not only routed them, but had had strength to pursue them; he had not only pursued them, but he had been enabled to come up to them. The idea is that of complete success and absolute triumph. Neither did I turn again -I was not driven back, nor was I weary and exhausted, and compelled to give over the pursuit. Till they were consumed -Until they were all either slain or made captive, so that the hostile forces vanished. None of my enemies were left.
