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 <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.

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

² Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.

⁴ I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah.)

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

¹ But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

² When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

¹ After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.

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.

¹⁷ So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

² In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

³¹ Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

² I will give worship before your holy Temple, praising your name for your mercy and for your unchanging faith: for you have made your word greater than all your name.

²³ I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

²⁴ But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
