⁷ How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

¹² The Lord give you a reward for what you have done, and may a full reward be given to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take cover.

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

⁸ Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

¹ See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

¹⁷ How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. When he went in flight from Saul, in the hole of the rock.> Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me; for the hope of my soul is in you: I will keep myself safely under the shade of your wings, till these troubles are past.

¹⁹ O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!

⁹ And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.

¹⁰ And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

⁴ And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

⁶ Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

⁷ And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!

⁷ Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.

⁸ The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.

¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.

⁵ You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.

⁷ Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

⁶ And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;
