My shield is with God,David is putting his trust in God. He has come under attack, and must rely on God to come through the other side. Elsewhere in the passage, he calls on God to be his judge and condemn the evil-doers. But here, he relies on God to be his shield, his defense.
Who saves the upright in heart.
He believe God will defend him, that the shield will hold firm, because God knows the hearts of men. He knows that David is faultless in this matter, and that the other person is doing evil. No matter what appearances may be, God knows both men's hearts, and knows who is right.
