Psalms 63:7

"For thou hast been my help,

And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee:

Thy right hand upholdeth me."

"In the shadow of thy wings" (Psalms 63:7). "It is our duty to rejoice in the shadow of God's wings. This denotes our recourse to Him through faith and prayer, as naturally as little chickens flee from the cold to the protection of the hen's wings."[10] Christ himself adopted this beautiful metaphor (Matthew 23:37).
