He makes my feet like hind’s feet
He gives me speed like a deer under attack
In the face of adversity
He teaches me joy and gladness of heart
And in spite of my adversary
He fills me with praise and melodies as I race
I run with abandonment
In times of trouble a female deer slumbers not
Rather she leaps and takes to flight
Joyful in this cheer delight which is her speed
Placing her back feet exactly where her front feet stepped
She runs securely, unwavering
With every leap of insurmountable joy
She surmounts unusually difficult terrain
And thus eludes her predators
Therefore in the face of hopelessness
He makes my feet like hind’s feet
It is the fullest measure of joy
To step my feet right in the very footprints of YHWH
To follow His lead ultimately
To enter His gates with singing
To come into His courts with praise
To exercise the speed He gives
To embrace the victory that follows
He makes my feet like hind’s feet
And I ride upon my high places
For every moment of trial is a moment of lifting
Hallelujah!
In the face of adversity
Run therefore with hind’s feet!
Habakkuk 3:17-19 The Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like hind’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.
