He is a shield to all who come to him for protection.

or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.

let me have them before I die.
8 First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

5 All God’s words are tried and true;
a shield for those who take refuge in him.

or he will correct you and show you to be a liar.
7 Two things I ask of you;
don’t keep them from me before I die:
8 Fraud and lies—
keep far from me!
Don’t give me either poverty or wealth;
give me just the food I need.
