"My foot hath held his steps" (Job 23:11)—Dr. Davidson, in his Commentary on the book of Job, suggests the alternative rendering, "My foot hath held fast to His steps," and then adds, "i.e., followed closely to his footsteps." Moffatt suggests the rendering: "I have kept closely to his footsteps."

"The Lord will give grace and glory" (Ps. 84:11)—The Hebrew word "chen" can mean "favor" or "elegance" as well as "grace"; while "kabod" (which is here translated "glory") can also mean "abundance" or "honor."
