⁷ How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

¹² Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.

⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and `such' we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

¹⁷ How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

¹ Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, Until `these' calamities be overpast.

¹⁹ Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!

⁹ Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

⁴ whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.

⁶ Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

⁷ For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen `gathereth' her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, And shall sing of thy righteousness.

⁸ Jehovah is gracious, and merciful; Slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.

¹⁵ But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

⁵ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

⁷ For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁶ And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,
