OET (OET-RV) The one who makes my feet nimble like a deer,

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מְשַׁוֶּ֥ה רַגְלַ֖י כָּאַיָּל֑וֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: makes רגלי,ו like,does and,on places_of, he,makes_me_stand_firm )
David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [making my feet like the feet of a deer]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מְשַׁוֶּ֥ה רַגְלַ֖י כָּאַיָּל֑וֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: makes רגלי,ו like,does and,on places_of, he,makes_me_stand_firm )
Here David is comparing his ability to move quickly and surely with the way a deer moves in difficult terrain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [making my feet secure] or [keeping me from stumbling]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וְעַ֥ל בָּמוֹתַ֖י יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי
and,on (Some words not found in UHB: makes רגלי,ו like,does and,on places_of, he,makes_me_stand_firm )
David may be using this possessive form, referring to these as my high places, because he is recalling how he had to hide among cliffs when Saul was trying to kill him. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning with a different form. Alternate translation: [and he keeps me from falling from any high places where I have to go]

⇔ ≈ and places me securely up on the heights.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
