The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in. The thrice-repeated "shall preserve," or 'keep thee,' attests the greatness of man's unbelief, which needs so frequent assurances. The 'going out and the coming in' express the beginning and the completion of undertakings. Drawn from Deuteronomy 28:6.
From this time forth, and even forevermore - cf. the Lord Christ's promises to the spiritual Israel, Matthew 28:20.
