◄  Psalm 5:12  ►
New International Version (© 2011)
Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

King James Bible
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

American Standard Version
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.

Young's Literal Translation
For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

Psalm 5:12 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous - A righteous soul is a peculiar object of God's affectionate regards; and therefore will be a subject of continual blessing.

With favor - Literally, Like a shield, thy favor will crown him. God loves such; and this love is their defense. In all places, times and circumstances, it will preserve them. "Keep yourselves," says the apostle, "in the love of God." He who abides in this love need not fear the face of any adversary. Thus ended the morning's devotion of this excellent man: a model by which every Christian may frame his own.
