Verse Takeaways
1
God is Your Personal Guardian
The verse explicitly names "Jehovah" as your keeper. Commentators emphasize that this isn't a vague force, but the Lord Himself personally assuming the role of your protector. Scholars like John Gill see this as a role of Christ. This keeping is comprehensive: it's protection from physical danger, from sin, and ultimate preservation for salvation. It is a firm, personal promise of God's constant care.
