How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me,
For my soul finds shelter and safety in You,
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure
Until destruction passes by.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.

For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.

When you lie down [to rest] among the sheepfolds,
You [Israel] are like the wings of a dove [of victory] overlaid with silver,
Its feathers glistening with gold [trophies taken from the enemy].

He rained meat upon them like the dust,
And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas.

He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

Who lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters [above the firmament],
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,

If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as the apple of Your eye;
Hide me in the [protective] shadow of Your wings

And He rode upon a cherub (storm) and flew;
And He sped on the wings of the wind.
