Psalms 121:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 121:3
The reassurance: Al yitten lamot raglekha (He will not permit your foot to slip). Natan (give/permit) with mot (slip/totter/waver) promises stability. Regel (foot) represents one's path, walk, conduct. Al yanum shomrekha (He will not slumber, your keeper). Num (slumber/be drowsy); shomer (keeper/guard/watcher). The answer to verse 1-2: God as keeper doesn't drowse or sleep—He maintains constant vigilance. Human guardians grow weary, but divine guardian never sleeps. This echoes 1 Kings 18:27 where Elijah mocked Baal (perhaps sleeping?), contrasting YHWH's constant wakefulness.
