Psalms 84:9

Protection and safety

7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

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.

11 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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
