Verse 4 is found in chapter 121 of Psalms. Psalm 121 develops the trust of the pilgrim who looks toward the mountains and asks where his help will come from. The answer identifies the Creator of heaven and earth as the permanent protector. The repeated use of the idea of guarding emphasizes divine vigilance: God does not sleep, protects going out and coming in, and continually accompanies the believer. The psalm transforms physical travel into an image of permanent dependence upon the Lord.

Siehe, der Hüter Israels schläft noch schlummert nicht.
He aquí, no se adormecerá ni dormirá El que guarda a Israel.
Mira, no se adormece ni duerme el que guarda a Israel.
Voici, il ne sommeille ni ne dort, Celui qui garde Israël.
Ecco, il Guardiano d’Israele Non sonnecchia, e non dorme.
Eis que não tosquenejará nem dormirá o guarda de Israel.
保護 以色列 的 必不打盹,也不睡覺。
