Psalm 8411

Psalm 84:11 is a verse from the Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible, which is part of the Christian Old Testament. The verse reads, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless" in the New International Version (NIV). In Hebrew, the verse is translated as "כִּי-שֶׁמֶשׁ וּמָגֵן יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים חֵן וְכָבוֹד יִתֵּן יְהוָה לֹא-יִמְנַע-טוֹב לַהֲלֹכִים תָּמִים". This verse is part of a psalm that expresses the psalmist's longing for the temple in Jerusalem and their trust in God's protection and provision. The verse emphasizes God's role as a source of light ("sun") and protection ("shield"), and His generosity towards those who live uprightly. The phrase "no good thing does He withhold" underscores God's benevolence and faithfulness to those who are blameless in their conduct. In Latin, the verse is translated as "Quoniam Dominus Deus sol et scutum; Dominus dabit gratiam et gloriam; non auferet bonum eis qui ambulant in innocentia". The context of Psalm 84 is one of pilgrimage and worship, with the psalmist expressing a deep desire to be in God's presence and acknowledging His goodness and faithfulness.
