settling in forests
deer* and doe freely flourish...
soon, their antlers nailed
*Deuteronomy 14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

This scripture is referring to Jesus when He returns to reign on this earth for a thousand years.
Psalm 92: 10
AMP
But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox(unicorn); I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service].
NLT
But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil.
God in Your mercy anoint me again
Give me strength to make it through
I depend on You, God
(I am still weak, exhausted, and not able to do what I need to do, however I know that I know He will help me.)
