Past Grace Fuels Future Faith
The psalmist builds his confidence for the future on God's past actions. Commentators note that because God has already 'delivered my soul from death,' David trusts Him to also keep his 'feet from falling.' This teaches believers to recall God's past faithfulness as a firm foundation for trusting Him with present and future challenges.
