Hebrew · yeh-ho-VAH mah-GHEN
Jehovah-Magen
יְהוָה מָגֵן
The LORD my Shield
Symbol: The shield covering the soldier — blows land on it, never on you
“My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.”
Psalm 7:10
A shield stood between the warrior and every weapon aimed at him. God Himself takes that position between you and harm.
What the name means
God told Abraham, 'I am your shield, your very great reward' — protection and provision in one promise.
The shield is not a technique; it is a Person. Safety is not a wall you build but a God you hide in.
Pray it over your family, your mind and your going out and coming in — daily, like armor.
How to pray this name
- In fear or attack, declare: 'Jehovah-Magen, stand between me and this.'
- Pray it over your children by name before they leave the house.
Jehovah-Magen, be my shield today. Let every arrow aimed at me meet You first. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
The Lord Himself is my shield — no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
