Psalms 121:3 meaning and explanation

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

Psalms 121:3, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The speaker is a pilgrim traveling toward Jerusalem, and having answered his own opening question by naming the LORD as Maker of heaven and earth, he now adds assurance. The Hebrew verb shamar, meaning to keep or guard, runs through this psalm as a refrain, and the word rendered Protector is that same verb used as a noun.
