From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet -SoHabakkuk 3:19, “He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.” The hind is the female deer, remarkable for fleetness or swiftness. The meaning here is, that God had made him alert or active, enabling him to pursue a flying enemy, or to escape from a swift-running foe. And setteth me upon my high places -places of safety or refuge. The idea is, that God had given him security, or had rendered him safe from danger. CompareDeuteronomy 32:13. Swiftness of foot, or ability to escape from, or to pursue an enemy, was regarded as of great value in ancient warfare.
