God as Your Shield-Bearer
Commentators explain that the phrase "My shield is with God" paints a powerful picture of divine protection. One scholar notes the Hebrew can be translated as "my shield is upon God," suggesting God Himself is our "shield-bearer." This means our defense isn't just from God; it is actively carried and managed by Him.
