BECAUSE my God is my shield and my exceeding great reward I will not fear (Genesis 15:1).
Also My Shield, Maginni,
in the Hebrew text of 2 Samuel 22:3
Maginni in Hebrew is magen or meginnah: a shield מָגֵן
Transliteration: magen or meginnah Phonetic Spelling: (maw-gane’)
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psalm 18:2)
In some verses, the KJV alters the word to ‘defense’ or ‘buckler’, (an old word for a shield).
A variation on this name of God is, Shield of your help.
