'Shadow' in the Bible
Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!
For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me! For in you I have taken shelter. In the shadow of your wings I take shelter until trouble passes.
The mountains were covered by its shadow, the highest cedars by its branches.
As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the sovereign One, and resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king --
I am fading away like a shadow at the end of the day; I am shaken off like a locust.
People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears.
