He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
All Commentaries on Psalms 18:33 Go To Psalms 18
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Harts. Protestants, "hinds. "(Haydock)
The Hebrews generally prefer to specify the female. Harts are remarkably swift, and this quality was greatly esteemed in a warrior. Asael is praised for it; (2 Kings ii. 18.) and Homer styles his hero "the swift-footed Achilles. "(Calmet)
As harts trample serpents under their feet, says Theodoret, so I treat my enemies.
High. Hebrew, "my high places "where I have so often baffled the efforts of my persecutors. (Haydock)
