Psalms 121:5
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
121:5. The LORD is thy keeper. Here the preserving One, who had been spoken of by pronouns in the two previous verses, is distinctly named—Jehovah is thy keeper. Here is a glorious person—Jehovah, assuming a gracious office and fulfilling it in person—Jehovah is thy keeper, in behalf of a favored individual—thy, and a firm assurance of revelation that it is even so at this hour—Jehovah is thy keeper. We may journey through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil.
The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. A shade gives protection from burning heat and glaring light. We cannot bear too much blessing; even divine goodness, which is a right-hand disposition, must be toned down and shaded to suit our infirmity, and this the Lord will do for us. God is as near us as our shadow, and we are as safe as angels.
