Psalms 84:11
9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.
10 For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.
12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
