Midrasch zu Schir haSchirim 8:14
בְּרַ֣ח ׀ דּוֹדִ֗י וּֽדְמֵה־לְךָ֤ לִצְבִי֙ א֚וֹ לְעֹ֣פֶר הָֽאַיָּלִ֔ים עַ֖ל הָרֵ֥י בְשָׂמִֽים׃
Fliehe mein Geliebter, und sei gleich einem Hirsch oder dem Jungen der Rehe auf Gewürzbergen.
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
Another interpretation (of Ps. 33:18): BEHOLD, THE EYE OF THE LORD < IS ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM >, because it says (in Cant. 8:14): FLEE, MY BELOVED, AND BECOME LIKE A GAZELLE. Just as this gazelle sleeps with one eye open and one closed, so also < let it be with > you: AND BECOME LIKE A GAZELLE. Therefore David has said (in Ps. 33:18): BEHOLD, THE EYE OF THE LORD (like that of a gazelle) IS ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
