3. H W N S T F T B M H T K T W N S
This is either an address of the psalmist to his own soul; or to any other good man, his friend and acquaintance, assuring of stability, and of final perseverance in grace to glory. The Lord keeps the feet of his saints from falling: he will not suffer them to be moved out of the spiritual estate in which they stand. Nor off of the Foundation and Rock of ages, on which their feet are set, and their goings established. Nor out of the house of God, where they are as pillars. Nor out of his ways, where he upholds their goings. Moved in some sense they may be, yet not “greatly moved”; their feet may be “almost” gone, and their steps “well nigh” slipped, and yet shall not fall finally and totally, or so as to perish (see Psalm 62:2). “Moved” (compare Psalms 37, 23, and 24).
“He that keepeth thee will not slumber”: Neither angels nor men are the keepers of the saints, but the Lord himself. He is the keeper of every individual saint, of every regenerate person, of every one of his sheep, of every member of his church. He keeps them by his power, he preserves them by his grace, he holds them with his right hand. Guides them by his counsel, keeps their feet from falling, and brings them safe to glory. And a watchful keeper he is, he does not so much as slumber; he keeps them night and day, lest any harm them (Isa. 27:3).
In Hebrews chapter 13, we read that He will never leave us, or forsake us. God is a present help. He is always there to help us night and day. If you are standing on the Rock that cannot be moved, you will not slip. The Great Shepherd never sleeps or lets the wolves come in and get the sheep. He is ever watchful over His sheep. The assurance is, that He will be with us even unto the end of the earth.
