"But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. For surely, O LORD, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield." Psalms 5:11-12 (NIV)
King David prayed that God would bless and protect the righteous and surround them with His favor. Those who are true believers should rejoice because they are assured of the blessings and protection of The Lord.
Those of us who believe in The Lord Jesus Christ and obey The Word of God, are surrounded by the favor of God and it is like a hedge of protection around us. God's favor is a special blessing for us. We should thank God for our being blessed and favored.
