“You shall make tassels for yourself on the four corners of your outer garment with which you cover yourself.

“[fn]A man shall not take his father’s [former] wife, so that he will not [fn]expose his father’s wife.

‘Cursed is he who is intimate with his father’s [former] wife, because he has [fn]violated what belongs to his father.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

“As an eagle that protects its nest,

That flutters over its young,

He spread out His wings and took them,

He carried them on His pinions.

“He rode on a cherub and flew;

He appeared upon the wings of the wind.

“He lets it loose under the whole heaven,

And His lightning to the ends of the earth.

So that light may take hold of the corners of the earth

And shake the wickedness out of it?

“The [flightless] wings of the ostrich wave joyously;

With the pinion (shackles, fetters) and plumage of love,

“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,

Stretching his wings toward the south [as winter approaches]?

Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as the [fn]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.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “Do Not Destroy.” A Mikhtam of David. [A record of memorable thoughts of David] when he fled from Saul in the cave.

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 [fn]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,

Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and winged birds;

Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net

In the sight of any bird;

When you set your eyes on wealth, it is [suddenly] gone.

For wealth certainly makes itself wings

Like an eagle that flies to the heavens.

“Then it will [fn]sweep on into Judah; it will overflow and pass through [the hills],

Reaching even to the neck [of which Jerusalem is the head],

And its outstretched wings (the armies of Assyria) will fill the width of Your land, O Immanuel.

“My hand has found the wealth of the people like a nest,

And as one gathers eggs that are abandoned, so I have gathered all the earth;

And there was not one that flapped its wing, or that opened its beak and chirped.”
