Psalms 121:4

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

Ver. 4. Behold, he that keepeth, &c.] He repeateth that sweetest promise (that we may roll it as sugar under our tongues, that we may suck and be satisfied, Isa 66:11), and setteth it forth with a behold, q.d. mark it, "and know thou it for thy good," Job 5:27 .

Shall neither slumber nor sleep] Shall not fetch one wink of sleep. Dormitamus priusquam dormiamus, we slumber before we sleep; but God shall do neither. His seven eyes Zec 3:9 are ever open, yea, they run to and fro through the whole earth, Zechariah 4:10, sc. spectat universes, quasi singulos; sic singulos, quasi solos. Howbeit, he looketh with special care and complacency on the godly, Isaiah 66:2 .
