Psalms 18:36 - Exposition

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. Psalms 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.
