King James Bible
"He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places."
David compares his God-given agility to that of a female deer (hind), known for its sure-footed ability to navigate rocky mountain terrain. This metaphor emphasizes divine enablement for navigating life's treacherous paths and overcoming obstacles that would otherwise prove insurmountable. The high places represent positions of safety, victory, and strategic advantage—often fortified locations in ancient warfare. God not only equips David with ability but actively establishes him in positions of strength and triumph over his enemies.
