Psalms 84:11 - Exposition

For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; i.e. not only a "Shield" or protection, as he has been already called ( Psalms 84:9 ), but also a "Sun," the source of life and light, of joy and happiness (comp. Isaiah 60:19 , Isaiah 60:20 ; Malachi 4:2 ). The Lord will give grace and glory. Inward grace, outward splendour and glory ( Revelation 21:11-24 ). No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly (see 1 Corinthians 2:9 ; 1 Timothy 4:8 ; and Psalms 34:10 ).
