Psalms 84:11

11 For the Lord God is our sovereign protector.
Heb “[is] a sun and a shield.” The epithet “sun,” though rarely used of Israel’s God in the OT, was a well-attested royal title in the ancient Near East. For several examples from Ugaritic texts, the Amarna letters, and Assyrian royal inscriptions, see R. B. Chisholm, “An Exegetical and Theological Study of Psalm 18/2 Samuel 22” (Th.D. diss., Dallas Theological Seminary, 1983), 131, n. 2.

The Lord bestows favor
Or “grace.”
and honor;
he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
Heb “he does not withhold good to those walking in integrity.”
