Psalms 121:5

Psa 121:5 The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.

Ver. 5. The Lord is thy keeper ] His peace within thee and his power without thee shall safeguard thee to his heavenly kingdom, φρουρησει , Philippians 4:7 .

The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand ] To shelter and shield thee from all annoyances, as the pillar of cloud did the Israelites in the wilderness, as the poet feigneth that Paris, out matched by Menelaus in a duel, was by Venus wrapped in a cloud, and carried off.
