From Psalms: Layer by Layer
- V. 7
- To place something (or someone) under someone's feet is an expression of authority and control. When the Israelites conquered the five Amorite kings, Joshua ordered his commanders to put their feet on the necks of the conquered kings. In Psalm 110, God says to the king, “Sit at my right hand while I make your enemies your footstool.”
