Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.
Jehovah Himself assumes the office of thy keeper, no deputy, no messenger, but the living God takes up the work in person. This single sentence is a mass of bullion stamped with the king's name, worth all our expenses from birth to rest in heaven. He shades thy right hand, the member that labors most, because it shall have most protection; when the blazing sun pours down its burning beams, the Lord Himself interposes as thy honored attendant, and thou art safe as angels.
AI summary
Do not rely on creatures, on princes and great men like hills that fill the earth. In vain is salvation hoped for from them. Lift your eyes above the hills themselves; look beyond instruments to God, who makes them what they are to us. My help comes from the Lord alone, fetched in by faith in His promises and due regard to His institutions.

Commenting on Psalm 121:1-8
The Lord keeps you from all evil, whatever its kind or source, and keeps your soul, your very life both inward and outward. He keeps your going out and coming in, all your business and intercourse of life, everywhere and at all times, from this hour even forever.
