^4 (A)He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and ^[a]buckler.

² And He has made ^(A)My mouth like a sharp sword;
^(B)In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me,
And made Me ^(C)a polished shaft;
In His quiver He has hidden Me.”

¹⁶ And ^(A)I have put My words in your mouth;
^(B)I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
^(C)That I may ^[a]plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”
