stumbling, being pushed down; the state or danger of falling
This noun denotes stumbling or being pushed down, appearing in two nearly identical psalms. The psalmist praises God for delivering his feet 'from stumbling'—preventing his fall into death or destruction. The term captures both the physical danger of tripping and the spiritual or mortal peril it represents.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A noun meaning stumbling or the state of being pushed/thrust down. Psalm 56:13 and 116:8 contain identical phrases: 'You have delivered... my feet from stumbling,' thanking God for preventing the psalmist from falling (whether literally or into death/disaster). The term derives from a root meaning 'thrust' or 'push,' suggesting being forcibly knocked down rather than merely losing one's footing. The preposition 'from' (min) indicates rescue or prevention from this fate. 2×
