⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁷ How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

¹⁴ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?

²⁵ Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

² Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

² O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

¹¹ My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
