Footnotes

  1. 3 The Hebrew verb normally means “to pour out,” but here it must have the nuance “to slide.” My feet almost slid out from under me. The language is metaphorical. As the following context makes clear, the psalmist almost “slipped” in a spiritual sense. As he began to question God’s justice, the psalmist came close to abandoning his faith.
