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

Verse 7 is found in chapter 36 of Psalms. Psalm 36 contrasts the depth of human wickedness with the immensity of divine mercy. The wicked live without fear of God and use their abilities to justify their own conduct, while the Lord’s steadfast love reaches the heavens. The image of taking refuge under divine wings is joined to that of drinking from the river of God’s delights. The contrast ends by asking that pride and violence not prevail.

Deine Gerechtigkeit steht wie die Berge Gottes und dein Recht wie eine große Tiefe. HERR, du hilfst Menschen und Vieh.
¡Cuán ilustre, oh Dios, es tu misericordia! Por eso los hijos de los hombres se amparan bajo la sombra de tus alas.
¡Qué precioso es tu amor leal, Dios! Los seres humanos se refugian a la sombra de tus alas.
Combien est précieuse ta bonté, ô Dieu! A l'ombre de tes ailes les fils de l'homme cherchent un refuge.
O Dio, quanto preziosa è la tua benignità! Perciò i figliuoli degli uomini si riducono sotto l’ombra delle tue ale;
Quão preciosa é, ó Deus, a tua benignidade, pelo que os filhos dos homens se abrigam à sombra das tuas asas.
上帝啊,你的慈愛何其寶貴! 世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。
