Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.

They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

{A Psalm of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

Thou hast seen it, Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.} I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.

Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, and drink.

{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;

If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways:

He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger for ever.

To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

Blessed are they that keep justice, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, as a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant and I shall live; and I will keep thy word.

Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.

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

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

Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word.

Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.

I have refrained my feet from every evil path, 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; and I will keep thy precepts.

Mine eyes run down with streams of water, because they keep not thy law.

I call upon thee; save me, and I will keep thy testimonies.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

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

Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked man, preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
