He who keeps you will not slumber. [1 Sam 2:9; Ps 127:1; Prov 3:23, 26; Is 27:3]

Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].

The Lord is your shade on your right hand. [Is 25:4]

Nor the moon by night. [Ps 91:5; Is 49:10; Rev 7:16]

He will keep your life.
8The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]
From this time forth and forever. [Deut 28:6; Prov 2:8; 3:6]
