# your foot to slip

The slipping of a foot is associated with falling. Alternate translation: "you to fall" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# he who protects you will not slumber

Here "slumber" is a metaphor for "stop protecting." The negative form strengthens the statement. Alternate translation: "he will always protect you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublenegatives]])

# he who protects you
