Easton
(Heb gader), Nu 22:24 (R.V.). Fences were constructions of unmortared stones, to protect gardens, vineyards, sheepfolds, etc. From various causes they were apt to bulge out and fall (Ps 62:3). In Ps 80:12, R.V. (see Isa 5:5), the psalmist says, "Why hast thou broken down her fences?" Serpents delight to lurk in the crevices of such fences (Ec 10:8; comp. Am 5:19).

Hastings
Ps 62:3 is the only occurrence of the subst., and probably the word there has its modern meaning (Coverdale 'hedge'). But the participle 'fenced' (used of a city) always means 'fortified' (which Amer. RV always substitutes). See Fortification.
