Cuando andes, te guiarán; cuando duermas, velarán por ti; y al despertarte, hablarán contigo.
Te guiar�n cuando anduvieres; cuando durmieres, te guardar�n; hablar�n contigo cuando despertares.
Te guiar� cuando anduvieres; cuando durmieres te guardar�; hablar� contigo cuando despertares.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When thou goest, it shall lead thee,.... The law of God taught by parents; this directs man in the path of duty and business of life; teaches him what way to shun, and which to walk in; it leads out of the paths of sin, and into the way in which he should go, which is most conducive to his good, and to the glory of God; it will lead him safely, so that he shall not stumble, Proverbs 3:3;
when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; from terrifying dreams, evil spirits, dangers by fire or thieves; one that observes it conscientiously may lie down and sleep, secure of the guardianship of divine Providence, and not fear any evil; or "shall watch over thee" h in the night season;
and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee; familiarly; and instruct what to do, and how to behave the day following; or "it shall go out with thee" i, into the fields for a morning's walk, and assist in meditation. Jarchi interprets this of sleeping by death, and of awaking at the resurrection of the dead.
h תשמר עליך "excubabit apud te", Cocceius; "excubias aget super te", Michaelis, Schultens. i היא תשוחך "illa ipsa spatiabitur tecum", Schultens.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The thought of Proverbs 3:3 is carried step further. No outward charm, but the law of obedience, shall give safety to the traveler, when he sleeps or when he wakes.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 6:22. When thou goest, it shall lead thee — Here the law is personified; and is represented as a nurse, teacher, and guardian, by night and day. An upright man never goes but as directed by God's word and led by God's Spirit.
When thou sleepest — He commends his body and soul to the protection of his Maker when he lies down and sleeps in peace. And when he awakes in the morning, the promises and mercies of God are the first things that present themselves to his recollection.
