Verse 24.— Now unto him that is able. That is, unto God. To him is this doxology addressed. God only is capable of so guarding our footsteps that we neither stumble nor fall. The Christian life is, metaphor­ically, called walking, so that falling into sin would be to a Christian, metaphorically, stumbling, and stumbling is the word here used. God guards and preserves us in our Chris­tian walk, and so conducting ourselves here, we are pre­sented faultless in the presence of his glory— glorious presence— with joy to ourselves and the redeemed hosts.
