God Creates a Secure Path
Commentators explain that the phrase "enlarged my steps" is a powerful metaphor. It describes God clearing a path, removing obstacles, and creating freedom of movement where one was previously restricted or trapped. Paired with "my feet did not slip," it illustrates God not only opening a way forward but also providing the stability and strength to walk on it securely.
