⁵ Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.

¹¹ As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:

⁴ You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

⁶ And I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria: and I will keep watch over this town.

³⁵ For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

²⁷ Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.

⁴ You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.

⁴⁰ And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

⁵ God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

¹⁴ And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
