33. The conqueror’s feet had been shod by a divine hand, and the next note
must, therefore, refer to them. Pursuing his foes the warrior had been swift of
foot as a young roe, but, instead of taking pleasure in the legs of a man, he
ascribes the boon of swiftness to the Lord alone. Climbing into impregnable
fortresses, David had been preserved from slipping, and made to stand where
scarce the wild goat can find a footing; herein was preserving mercy
manifested. We, too, have had our high places of honor, service,
temptation, and danger, but hitherto we have been kept from falling. Bring the
harp, and let us emulate the psalmist’s joyful thanksgiving.
