Psalms 121:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 121:4
Hineh lo yanum v'lo yishan shomer Yisrael (Behold, He neither slumbers nor sleeps, the keeper of Israel). Hineh (behold) draws attention. Lo yanum (He does not slumber); lo yishan (He does not sleep) - two verbs for sleep emphasize totality. Shomer Yisrael (keeper/guardian of Israel) identifies God's covenant role. The verse intensifies verse 3's truth: not only will God not let your foot slip (v.3), but He absolutely never slumbers or sleeps. This is characteristic divine activity toward His people—perpetual watchfulness, ceaseless care, uninterrupted protection.
