“Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.”
The prayer includes petition for the king: "Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed." The king (God's anointed) is presented as representative of the people; his welfare and God's favor toward him become vehicles for God's blessing on all. The shield imagery suggests protection.
