Psalms 18:33 - Exposition

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet . The Israelites reckoned swiftness of foot, agility, and endurance among the highest of warlike qualities. These qualities were needed especially in the pursuit of defeated enemies; and the rapidity of David's conquests ( 2 Samuel 5:6-10 ; 2 Samuel 8:1-14 ; 2 Samuel 10:15 -20) must be ascribed to them mainly. And setteth me upon my high places ; i.e. establishes me in the strongholds that command my extensive territory, and give me secure possession of it, as Zion, Rabbath-Ammon, Damascus, Petra, perhaps Zobah, Rehob, and others.
