Thematic Bible: Overshadowing providence shelters God's people


Thematic Bible




As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so [is] my beloved among the young men. In his shade {I sat down with delight}, and his fruit [was] sweet to my palate.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, because in you my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.



As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, carries them on its pinions,

{And} when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock's crevice, and I will cover you [with] my hand until I pass over.


For you have been a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in his distress, a shelter from [the] rainstorm, a shade from [the] heat. For [the] breath of [the] ruthless [was] like a rainstorm against a wall,

And each one will be like a hiding place from [the] wind and a covering from [the] rainstorm, like streams of water in a dry region, like [the] shade of a large rock in a weary land.




And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, to plant [the] heavens and to found [the] earth, saying to Zion, 'You [are] my people.'"
