The psalm affirms that the Lord protects his people Israel. Unless the psalmist addresses an observer (note the second person singular forms in vv. 3-8 ), it appears there are two or three speakers represented in the psalm, depending on how one takes v. 3 . The translation assumes that speaker one talks in vv. 1-2 , that speaker two responds to him with a prayer in v. 3 (this assumes the verbs are true jussives of prayer), and that speaker three responds with words of assurance in vv. 4-8 . If the verbs in v. 3 are taken as a rhetorical use of the jussive, then there are two speakers. Verses 3-8 are speaker two’s response to the words of speaker one. See the note on the word “sleep” at the end of v. 3 .","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Psalm%20121%3A1/1"}

The reference to the moon may simply lend poetic balance to the verse, but it is likely that the verse reflects an ancient, primitive belief that the moon could have an adverse effect on the mind (note the English expression “moonstruck,” which reflects such a belief). Another possibility is that the sun and moon stand by metonymy for harmful forces characteristic of the day and night, respectively.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Psalm%20121%3A6/1"}
