Psalms 121:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 121:6
Yomam hashemesh lo yakkekah v'yareach balaylah (By day the sun shall not strike you, nor the moon by night). Nakah (strike/smite/harm) indicates harmful impact. Shemesh (sun) and yareach (moon) represent day and night dangers comprehensively. Ancient belief held that moon could cause harm (English "lunacy" from Latin luna, moon). Whether literal (sunstroke) or symbolic (any daytime/nighttime danger), God promises comprehensive protection around the clock. This builds on verse 5's shade imagery—protected from both day and night perils.
