V3 David's answer

God is my shield,my glory,lifter up of my head

My shield

God has put his protection around Job and his belongings

This is because he was just before God

This is because,He didn't accept which was not from God (Gen 14:22-24)

he gave him tithes of all.(Gen 14:20)

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Do not accept what is not Godly

Give our tithe

God lifted up Jacob
