What Does 2 Samuel 22:37 Mean?

God 'enlarged' David's steps, widening the path beneath him so there was firm room to walk and his 'feet did not slip.' The narrow ledge becomes a broad road; the danger of stumbling is removed.

After speaking of heights and battles, David rejoices in something quieter: a steady walk on solid ground. God's care reaches to the very placing of our feet. For the one who feels the path narrowing and the footing failing, this verse promises a God who broadens the way and keeps us from falling.
