Psalms121:5
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand .
Both to refresh thee and keep thee from the burning heat of the Sun, as it is expressed in the next verse, and to protect thee by his power from all thine enemies; for which reason God is oft called a shadow in Scripture.
Partly to uphold thy right hand, which is the chief instrument of action; and partly to defend thee in that place where thine enemies oppose thee: of which see on Psal. 109. 6. And compare Psal. 16. 8. & 109. 31.
