He shall shelter thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and buckler.

Cp. Psalms 5:11-12; Psalms 17:8; Psalms 63:7; and the figure in Deuteronomy 32:11, though the application there is different. God's truth, i.e. His faithfulness to His promises, will be a defence against hostile calumnies. The words rendered shieldand bucklerboth denote large shields, protecting the whole of the person.
