Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.

Verse 37 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

Du machst unter mir Raum zu gehen, daß meine Knöchel nicht wanken.
Tú ensanchaste mis pasos debajo de mí, Para que no titubeasen mis rodillas.
Ensanchaste el lugar de mis pasos y mis tobillos no vacilaron.
Tu élargis le chemin sous mes pas, Et mes pieds ne chancellent point.
Tu hai allargati i miei passi sotto me, E le mie calcagna non son vacillate.
Alargaste os meus passos debaixo de mim, e não vacilaram os meus artelhos.
你使我腳步寬闊, 我的腳踝未曾滑跌。
