Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade on your right hand. (Psalm 121: 4-5)
In soccer the goal keeper - or simply the keeper - is the final defense. A strong team can play hard and do well but be undone by a groggy keeper.
Alternatively, a great keeper can save a very poor team. The adversary may be stronger in every way, but if the keeper defends every goal the keeper's team will not lose. A strong keeper gives a weak team a real opportunity to win.
Another translation: The one watching over those who struggle with God does not tire nor sleep. The one who exists is your protector. The one who exists will preserve your strength.
Above is Red Sea by Robert Motherwell.
