But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me; you are my glory and the one who restores me.

Certainly you reward the godly, Lord. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor.

The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.

Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,

The Lord is my high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer. My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter, my shield, the horn that saves me, and my refuge.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord's promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

You give me your protective shield; your right hand supports me; your willingness to help enables me to prevail.

The Lord shows his faithful followers the way they should live.

For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

We wait for the Lord; he is our deliverer and shield.

Grab your small shield and large shield, and rise up to help me!

Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?

May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah)

There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah)

Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!

O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king!

For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall.

They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.

Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"

You are my hiding place and my shield. I find hope in your word.

Indeed I am composed and quiet, like a young child carried by its mother; I am content like the young child I carry.

O sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.

who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me.

O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?
