I find it interesting that the psalmist says that God kept them from slipping before saying that God took them through hard times. Yes, they faced hard times, but God gave them the power to overcome. I’m reminded of the Scripture that says God will not give us something we can’t overcome (with his help)but always offers a way of escape. The problem is we don’t always take the way of escape, and then we fail. We can’t blame God because there is a way out so that we don’t sin if we faithfully follow his commands. The question we have to ask ourselves is, are we willing to take those ways, or are we like Augustine, who confessed that when he prayed Lord, take this part of him said, not yet.
