For the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.
Deuteronomy 32:9-11

"Come, O Zion! Escape, you who live in the Daughter of Babylon!" For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you - for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye - I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me."
Zechariah 2:7-9

How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men find
refuge in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 36:7

Have mercy on me, O God,
have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge
in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
Psalm 57:1

Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow
of your wings.
Psalm 63:7
