11 For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; `He is' a shield to them that walk in integrity;
Oh fear Jehovah, ye his saints; For there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; But they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good thing.
Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good; And our land shall yield its increase.
And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but Jehovah will be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in `his' ways shall fall at once.
After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, `and' thy exceeding great reward.
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.
Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
There was the true light, `even the light' which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:
The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with `him', that we may be also glorified with `him'. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before `them' all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in `his' ways, though he be rich.
Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

Psalm 84
Though David's name be not in the title of this psalm, yet we have reason to think he was the penman of it, because it breathes so much of his excellent spirit and is so much like the sixty-third psalm which was penned by him; it is supposed that David penned this psalm when he was forced by Absalom's rebellion to quit his city, which he lamented his absence from, not so much because it was the royal city as because it was the holy city, witness this psalm, which contains the pious breathings of a gracious soul after God and communion with him.

In singing this psalm we should have the same devout affections working towards God that David had, and then the singing of it will be very pleasant.
