Psalms 63:7
For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
BSB
ASV
For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
KJV
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

This is the grand use of memory, to furnish us with proofs of the Lord's faithfulness, and lead us onward to a growing confidence in him. Therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. The very shade of God is sweet to a believer.

With God, the regenerate heart is in its proper position. A mystic something draws the new life towards the Source from where it came.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
