No one in scripture will "run like a deer" but the metaphor is made in three passages as an illustration of joy:

  1. 2 Samuel 22 - "David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul....He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; / he causes me to stand on the heights."
  2. Psalm 18:33 - "For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; / he causes me to stand on the heights.
  3. Habakkuk 3:19 - "A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth....The Sovereign Lord is my strength; / he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, / he enables me to tread on the heights."

The similarities should be apparent.
