Psalms 119:114

Psalms 119:114. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

"Thou art my protection against every kind of danger." David had been accustomed to hide in the caves of the mountains, but now he says that he hid himself in his God. When he did not hide, but stood out bravely against the serried ranks of his foes, then God was his shield to cover him in the day of battle.
