Protection and Presence
Commentators highlight a dual promise in this verse. God vows to be both an external defense ('a wall of fire round about') and an internal source of blessing ('the glory in the midst of her'). This means God's people are not only safe from outside threats but are also filled with His glorious presence, which is their true honor and happiness.
