The psalmist declares 'For I said, "Do not let them rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips."' The request that enemies not be allowed to rejoice over his misfortune suggests that his concern is not merely for himself but for the vindication of God's justice. The mention of foot slipping suggests a moment of stumbling, and the psalmist does not want this to be interpreted as permanent defeat. This verse indicates that the psalmist's concern is the perception of God's righteousness.
