Window 6 :: Psalms
Windows 5 and 6 are best understood together. These two windows illustrate the character and nature of God. Windows 1-4 are illustrating the reasons and plan of salvation, but before that plan is worked out, Windows 5 and 6 show us his nature.
Window 6 parallels Window 5. Where Window 5 shows God's justice, Window 6 shows God's mercy and providence. Each of these panels depict a Psalm that declares the mercy of God. God’s justice and mercy are beautifully taken as one piece that should not be separated.
Panel 1 - Man Under a Wing
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. - Psalms 91:4
Panel 3 - Shield and Arrows
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day. - Psalm 91:5
Panel 5 - Man Standing Alone
What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? - Psalm 8:4
Panel 7, 8 - Tree Planted by a River
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither
whatever they do prospers. - Psalm 1:3
