12. Jehovah has ordained his people the heirs of blessedness, and nothing
will rob them of their inheritance. With all the fullness of his power he will
bless them, and all his attributes will unite to fill them with divine
contentment. It is a promise of infinite length, unbounded breadth and
unutterable preciousness. With favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
There were vast shields used by the ancients as extensive as a man’s whole
person, surrounding him entirely. According to Ainsworth there is here also the
idea of being crowned, so that we wear a royal helmet, which is at once our
glory and defense.
