Psa 5:12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Believers are the ” righteous ” not because they have attained a standard of righteousness themselves but because Jesus has made them righteous by his blood. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe” ( Roman 3:22). Christians are given righteousness, it’s not earned, it’s a pure gift. ( Susan Barnes – Devotional Thought)
The synonyms for Favor in this verse are kindness, delight, pleasure, goodwill, acceptance etc David makes a prayer to God on behalf of the righteous. He prays that Jehovah Adonai may bestow his blessings upon them and that he may surround them as a shield with his favor.
Those who trust God; those who believe in him, know that God is surrounding them with a shield of favor. His protection is able to keep them safe at all times and according to his will ( BibleRef.com)
