Hello there, I have been pondering the scripture that refers to hinds' feet on high places and was wondering what other people's take on it is. Thanks! SDG

To Set Me Firm on the Heights

JQ,

The Jewish study Bible in 2 Samuel 22:34, uses words like "set firm" and "on the hights". The hights, has a singular of the word translated and refering to "my back". In the plural perhaps "my thighs" and "parallel to my legs".

The Hebrew Bible in English, 2 Samuel 22:34, Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;

What I see is G-d will allow us to do the impossible tasks with a firm foundation and to stand/set anywhere, even "on" the "highest places/mountain".
