2 Samuel 22:34

like hinds" feet The hind, like the gazelle, was a type of agility, swiftness, and surefootedness, indispensable qualifications in ancient warfare. Cp. 2 Samuel 2:18; 1 Chronicles 12:8.

setteth me upon my high places The metaphor of the hind, bounding unimpeded over the mountain tops, is continued. David's high places are the mountain strongholds, the occupation of which secured him in possession of the country. Cp. Deuteronomy 32:13; Habakkuk 3:19 is an obvious imitation of this passage.
