In the Hebrew text, the word used is "שָׁמַר" (shamar), which means to guard, watch over, or preserve. This word is often used in the context of a shepherd watching over his flock, suggesting a personal and attentive care. The psalmist is expressing a deep trust in God's ability to protect him from harm, reflecting a relationship where God is seen as a vigilant guardian. This plea is not just for physical safety but also for spiritual preservation, indicating a desire to remain in God's favor and under His guidance. as the apple of Your eye hide me in the shadow of Your wings Hide me under the shadow of thy wings.--The figure of the sheltering wings of the parent bird, so common in Hebrew literature, generally refers to the eagle or vulture, as in Deuteronomy 32:10-11, the source of both the beautiful images of the text. Our Lord's use of the figure is made more tender by the English rendering, "hen" (Matthew 23:37). (See Note New Testament Commentary.) Verse 8. - Keep me as the apple of the eye (comp. Deuteronomy 32. ]0, where the same simile is used). Here, however, the expression employed is still more tender and more practical: "Keep me," says David," as the apple, daughter of the eye." Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. This seems also to be a reminiscence of Deuteronomy, where, after the mention of the "apple of the eye," the water continues, As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him" (Deuteronomy 32:11, 12; comp. further Psalm 36:7; Psalm 57:1; Psalm 63:8; Psalm 91:4).Parallel Commentaries ...
