Feet » Illustrative » (sliding,) of yielding to temptation
“He who is at ease has contempt for misfortune,
But misfortune is ready [and anxiously waiting] for those whose feet slip.
My steps have held closely to Your paths;
My feet have not staggered.
For I pray, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would boast against me.”
If I say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.
Prosperity » The prosperous people despise the unfortunate people
“He who is at ease has contempt for misfortune,
But misfortune is ready [and anxiously waiting] for those whose feet slip.
