Vers. 11. My foote hath held his steps.
My foot] We are not to take the word foot, strictly,1 for that special member of the body so called; but by the foot we are to understand the whole man; my foot, that is, I my self have held his steps, I have held them; And he means such a holding as hath a kind of honest pertinaciousness in it, or a resolvedness not to let go what is held, a resolute holding, a cleaving fast to, a holding with a kind of violence, such as Jacob expressed to the Angel (Gen. 32.26.) I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
