34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.
34 Now I run like a deer; I'm king of the mountain.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.
34 He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:34
Chapter Contents
David's psalm of thanksgiving.
This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as 2 Timothy 4:18. Those who receive signal mercies from God, ought to give him the glory. In the day that God delivered David, he sang this song. While the mercy is fresh, and we are most affected with it, let the thank-offering be brought, to be kindled with the fire of that affection. All his joys and hopes close, as all our hopes should do, in the great Redeemer.
