Psalm 57:2
New Catholic Bible
2 Have mercy on me, O God,
have mercy on me,
for in you my soul[a] takes refuge.
I will seek shelter in the shadow of your wings
until the time of danger has passed.
Footnotes
- Psalm 57:2 My soul: see note on Ps 6:4. Shadow of your wings: conventional Hebrew metaphor for protection; it may have been inspired by the wings of the cherubim spread over the Ark in the inner chamber of the temple (see 1 Ki 6:23-28).
