He makes my feet like hinds` feet, And sets me on my high places.

Divine Agility and Security

Commentators explain that "feet like hinds' feet" refers to the supernatural speed, agility, and sure-footedness God gave David. This enabled him to pursue enemies and navigate treacherous terrain. Being "set upon my high places" signifies God placing him in positions of safety and victory, like conquered mountain fortresses. This highlights that our ability to overcome obstacles and find security comes directly from God's power.
