Commentators, particularly Charles Spurgeon, describe the verse as a "trinity of deliverances." God's salvation is comprehensive, touching every part of our being. He saves the soul from eternal death, the eyes from the tears of deep sorrow, and the feet from stumbling into sin or calamity. It is a complete, head-to-foot blessing that often exceeds what we even think to ask for.
