'Footing' in the Bible

He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.

I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;I have come into deep waters,and a flood sweeps over me.

Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.

Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing; for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him for deliverance.

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
