Psalms 121:5
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
BSB
ASV
Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.
KJV
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
God will provide that his people shall not be tempted above what they are able, shall not fall into sin, though they may be very near it ( Ps. lxxiii. 2, 23 ), shall not fall into trouble, though there be many endeavouring to undermine them by fraud or over throw them by force. He will keep them from being frightened, as we are when we slip or stumble and are ready to fall.
Those must needs be well kept that have the Lord for their keeper. If, by affliction, they be made his prisoners, yet still he is their keeper. The same that is the protector of the church in general is engaged for the preservation of every particular believer, the same wisdom, the same power, the same promises.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
