Psalm 18
1. David praises God for his manifold and marvelous blessings














(36) Thou hast enlarged my steps.--Comp. Psalm 31:8, which explains the phrase; also Psalm 18:19 above.

Verse 36. - Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. Job often complained that God "hedged in his steps" (Job 3:23) and "fenced up his way" (Job 19:5), so that he had no liberty of movement. David enumerates among the blessings which he receives of God, the freedom which he enjoys (comp. Psalm 31:8). He is at liberty to go where he likes. and also his footsteps "do not slip." This is rather an independent clause than a consequence. Translate, and my ankles slip not.
