שָׁמַר

I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
