Verse 33
33. Like hinds’ feet Not only swift but sure footed, so as to walk in difficult places safely. In the Egyptian paintings the hind is the symbol of fleetness. See on Psalms 42:1.
Setteth me upon my high places Perhaps, causeth my feet to stand sure on elevated, and hence insecure, paths, like the hind: but it is probably better to take high places for strongholds. “He establishes me in fastnesses,” which were commonly on tops of hills or mountains. The passage is parallel to Habakkuk 3:19, where to “walk upon high places,” or fortresses, means to have the military control of the land. So, also, Deuteronomy 33:29, et al.
