זִכְר֤וּ לְעוֹלָם֙ בְּרִית֔וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃
געדענקט אײביק זײַן בונד, דאָס װאָרט װאָס ער האָט באַפֿױלן אױף טױזנט דוֹרות.
Rashi
Quivers. Quivers in which they place arrows, as in, “Prepare the arrows, fill the quivers הַשְּׁלָטִים,”29I.e. Teaching [אלף] the Torah acts as a shield [המגן]. and it corresponds to the Chamber of Hewn Stone, from where instruction goes forth, for the Torah act as a shield to Yisroel.30I Divrei Hayamim 16:15. It is also possible to render that אֶלֶף הַמָּגֵן is the same as מָגֵן הָאֶלֶף, the shield of the thousand, alluding to, “the word [of the Torah] He commanded for a thousand generations.”31Alternatively, שלטי are shields. (Metzudas Tzion)
