Prepare for Worship
Commentators explain that the phrase "Keep thy foot" is a powerful metaphor for preparing your heart and mind for worship. It's not about literal footwear but about spiritual readiness. This involves quieting wandering thoughts, setting aside worldly distractions, and examining your intentions before entering God's presence, much like priests would wash before entering the tabernacle. True worship begins before the service does.
