Psalms 5:11

"But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice,

Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:

Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou wilt bless the righteous;

O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield."

There is infinite trust and confidence in such a passage as this. It is the inalienable right of every true child of God to accept this passage and many others like it as his very own inheritance.

Notice that the joyful confidence here is not limited to the one offering the prayer, but it is the blessing of all who "love the name" of the Lord and truly serve him.

Kidner pointed out that the last clause here, "Thou wilt compass him," etc. is a word, "Whose only other occurrence is in 1 Samuel 23:26, where it describes a hostile force closing in on David, only to find itself quietly deflected by God's encircling, providential care of David."[10]
