Read Psalm 91:4-5 in the NABRE onlineHe will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Reflection
The image shifts from a bird's wings to a soldier's shield without pausing — God is both the soft place that gathers and the hard surface that stands between you and the threat. Under his wings, the terror of night cannot reach you.
