Psalm 121:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Behold, the guardian of Israel
never slumbers nor sleeps.
5 [a]The Lord is your guardian;
the Lord is your shade
at your right hand.(A)
6 By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.(B)
Footnotes
- 121:5–6 The image of shade, a symbol of protection, is apt: God as shade protects from the harmful effects that ancients believed were caused by the sun and moon.
