Verse 6 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.

daß dich des Tages die Sonne nicht steche noch der Mond des Nachts.
El sol no te fatigará de día, Ni la luna de noche.
El sol no te herirá de día ni la luna de noche.
Pendant le jour le soleil ne te frappera point, Ni la lune pendant la nuit.
Di giorno il sole non ti ferirà, Nè la luna di notte.
O sol não te molestará de dia nem a lua de noite.
白日,太陽必不傷你; 夜間,月亮也不害你。
