You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.
David came to the throne through almost insurmountable trials, and foreign enemies harassed him even into old age. Rather than boast of his own victories, he exalts God as the true author of them, showing that his reign prefigures Christ's kingdom, one that will triumph over all resistance by the Father's incomprehensible power.

Commenting on Psalm 18:29
From narrow mountain passes and cavern cracks, He brought David into the open plains to dwell under his own vine and fig tree. But do not mistake: standing firm in prosperity requires as much of His hand as standing on the rocks of affliction. We need His upholding everywhere.
