Psalm 63:7-8 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.… 1. A place of refuge. "The shadow of Thy wings." 2. A fountain of joy. The mercy-seat shadowed with the wings of the cherubims brought to his remembrance God, whom he believed to be gracious and merciful, and filled him with joy in committing himself to the care and protection of His overshadowing providence. The same sacred symbol reminds us that "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself," and should fill us with all joy and peace in sheltering ourselves under His care and love. 3. A very present help. In believing, in praying, in doing, in suffering, were ye not helped? and it is your duty and honour to acknowledge it to His praise. 4. A quiet and sure habitation. 5. A treasure which faileth not. (A. Shanks.) Parallel Verses KJV: Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.WEB: For you have been my help.
