In Psalm 3, David sings,
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. (Psalm 3:3-6 ESV)
What a blessing to know that we have a God who protects us and sustains us! He Himself is our shield! So we are able to sleep in peace, knowing that in the midst of great trials or surrounded by enemies, the LORD is with us!
