“Under the shadow of Thy wings.” What a blessed picture of refuge and protection. This assurance of His care is for all who have come to Him for salvation, “under whose wings thou art come to trust.” We know that we are kept and hidden by Him, and in times of trouble we can confidently pray, “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.” “Thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever: I will trust in the covert of Thy wings.” And “because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.” “He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” “How excellent is Thy loving-kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou shalt make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.” “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. ... He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
“Under His wings shalt thou trust”;
Protection He will provide;
”In the covert of Thy wings”
I shall thus be satisfied.
