Clarke's Isaiah 27:3 Bible Commentary

Lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day - "I will take care of her by night; and by day I will keep guard over her" - For פן יפקד pen yiphkod, lest any visit it, the Syriac read ואפקד veephkod, and I will visit it. Twenty MSS. of Kennicott's, fourteen of De Rossi's, and two of my own, and six editions read אפקד ephkod, I will visit, in the first person.

Barnes's Isaiah 27:3 Bible Commentary

I the Lord do keep it - There is understood here or implied an introduction; as 'Yahweh said' (compare Psalm 121:3-5).

I will water it every moment - That is, constantly, as a vinedresser does his vineyard.

Wesley's Isaiah 27:3 Bible Commentary

27:3 I keep it - I will protect my church from all her enemies, and supply her with all necessary provisions.
