Psalms 18:36

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,.... Which is opposed to those straitened circumstances in which the psalmist was, Ps 18:4; and is expressive of deliverance from his enemies, by whom he was surrounded, besieged, and shut up; see Ps 31:8; and of freedom of walking at large, without being straitened for room, or interrupted by others, Pr 4:12; and of safety in standing; all which is true in a spiritual sense of believers in Christ, who being delivered by him out of the hands of their enemies, serve the Lord without fear in righteousness and holiness; walk at liberty by faith in Christ, and up and down in the name of the Lord their God; and have their feet established upon the Rock of ages, that sure and large foundation, Christ, from which there is no danger of slipping and falling; as follows;that my feet did not slip; so as to fall and perish; for sometimes the steps of the saints are well nigh slipped; yea, in some sense they stumble; slip, and fall, but not so as to be utterly cast down and perish eternally; the bottom on which they are is so broad, and the foundation so sure, that it is not possible they should.
