Komentaryo sa Mga Awit 3:4: Radak & Ibn Ezra

But Thou, Lord, art a shield about me: – the opposite of their words who are saying that there is no hope for me in this world, nor in the world to come. Thus they are thinking and saying; but Thou wilt deal with me in the very opposite way and wilt be a shield about me to deliver me in this world and a shield about me in the world to come.

But You, [Ad-nai], a shield (מָגֵן - magen): [This word magen] is a noun (shem) and not a participle (po'el). For [if it were an active participle meaning "shielding"] it would properly be in the pattern of [a form like] Hineni mesev ("Behold, I am surrounding/shielding").

My glory: – The “glory” is the soul, as “and my glory rejoiceth” (Ps. 16:9); “in order that (my) glory may sing praise to Thee” (Ps. 30:13), and (the word) “shield” which he has already used is to be understood here, “a shield about me” and “a shield of my glory.” Or the interpretation of my glory may be: the opposite of the dishonour which was his as a fugitive.
