Psalm 3:3 - But you are a shield around me, O LORD

Praise the lord

But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head

This psalm was written while David was fleeing as his own son, Absalom, was attempting to take over David’s kingdom. The emotions in this psalm run strong and well they should. Yet in the midst of this turmoil David cries out to God to be his shield. God is ultimately the one who lifts our head from our current circumstances. As we cry aloud God will answer!
