Psalms 94:18

Compare all

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.

18 If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.

19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

20 Shall ^athe throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?

21 They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn ^ainnocent blood.

Psalms 94:18

When I said, My foot slippeth - When I found myself so weak and my enemy so strong, that I got first off my guard, and then off my center of gravity, and my fall appeared inevitable: -

Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up - yisadeni , propped me. It is a metaphor taken from any thing falling, that is propped, shored up, or buttressed. How often does the mercy of God thus prevent the ruin of weak believers, and of those who have been unfaithful!
