I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
