2 Many say to my
soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou Lord art a
buckler for me, my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Brethren:
In these times (as
in times past), we are beset with mockers of God, and those that
choose to follow Him. They place their hopes in the words of men.
Yea, in the wisdom of men, yet that wisdom continually fails.
Contained herein above is a contrast by the Psalmist, of those that
would beileve, and those that would not. In the former verse we find
the ungodly stating that it is foolishness to believe in prayer, and
help from our Creator. In the latter passage we see that the believer
holds fast to his confession, and trusts in Him implicitly.
Now, a buckler, was sort of a small shield used to fend off attacks, from such weapons as swords, knives, spears, and others. As such the Psalmist is comparing the trust in the Lord as a shield for all the verbal (and perhaps at times physcial), attacks by our human adversaries, as well as the firey darts of Satan himself.

Also, make note my
friends, that God, is the lifter of the lowly, those who are of a
contrite heart and spirit. It is through our weaknesses, that He
proves Himself strong, and all glory therefore goes to Him.
Therefore, take
heed, that while we are strenghtened by His word, the battle
ultimately belongs to the Lord. - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades - Devoted

“Whither else
should we go but to him when any thing grieves us or frightens us?
David was now at a distance from his own closet, and from the courts
of God’s house, where he used to pray; and yet he could find away
open heaven-ward. Wherever we are we may have access to God, and may
draw nigh to him whithersoever we are driven. David, in his flight,
attends his God.” - Matthew Henry 17th Century
