A Tenacious Grip
Commentators note the powerful imagery in the phrase "my foot hath held fast." One scholar explains that in the ancient East, people used their feet with a grasping ability, much like hands. The image is not of a casual walk, but of Job tenaciously gripping God's path, refusing to be moved from it. He actively imitated God's character and followed His commands.
