Psa 18:33 | NET2full | STEP | He gives me the agility of a deer ; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain .

‏ Psalms 18:33

33 He gives me the agility of a deer; ^{▼▼tn Heb “[the one who] makes my feet like [those of ] a deer.”}
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and on my high places he makes me walk.” The imperfect verbal form emphasizes God’s characteristic provision. The psalmist compares his agility in battle to the ability of a deer to negotiate rugged, high terrain without falling or being injured.} ^{▼▼sn Habakkuk uses similar language to describe his faith during difficult times. See Hab 3:19.}
