Psalms 121:5

The Lord is thy keeper -Thy Preserver; thy Defender. He will keep time from danger; he will keep thee from sin; he will keep thee unto salvation. The Lord is thy shade -The Lord is as a shadow: as the shadow of a rock, a house, or a tree, in the intense rays of the burning sun. See the notes atIsaiah 25:4. Upon thy right hand -SeePsalms 16:8;Psalms 109:31. Perhaps the particular allusion to the right hand here may be that that was the place of a protector. He would thus be at hand, or would be ready to interpose in defense of him whom he was to guard.
