		<description>Ahem! Uh, yes, well... I must have missed that detail. That just goes to show how our critical reading can be colored by another source, in this case the song &quot;On Eagles&#039; Wings&quot;, which I discussed &lt;a href=&quot;http://heissufficient.wordpress.com/2007/05/01/psalm-911-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and which has the chorus:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
And He will raise you up on eagle&#039;s wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&quot;I didn’t get many hits for my post based in part on this verse, perhaps because the mention was right at the end. Perhaps this link from a well read post will generate more traffic for me!&quot;

You are too kind!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;the behavior being compared is soaring, not what type of bird our wings (!) resemble.&lt;/i&gt;

Indeed, and this should be clear in NLT, HCSB and TNIV as well. Note the lack of an apostrophe after &quot;eagles&quot; in these translations. The comparison is not that our wings are like eagles&#039; wings, but that we can soar as eagles soar. In fact I think REB makes this less clear rather than more, for readers literate enough to notice apostrophes. But I must say I realised only recently that there is no apostrophe there. And a good Bible is fully understandable when read aloud, which is an issue here.
