Read Psalms 3.
David was in trouble, yet again. David's enemies are growing. Many of them said that God will not save him because his sins were so great. But David knows God. David knows how God has protected him in the past, and how God will protect him in the future. David is taking refuge in God and asking God to take care of him, to be his shield, to protect him. David also knows God does what He wants when He wants, and He saves whom He wants. Salvation belongs to our God and no one else.
A shield is an active piece of defensive weaponry. God is constantly on guard for us. Like David, we must have faith in God to do what He promises. To have faith in God is to follow His teachings. Faith requires action. His teachings are how to have a sustained life.
