Concerning the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the paths of the destroyer.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

When I kept silence, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself: but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes.

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

Yet they tested and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept your testimonies.

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

This I had, because I kept your precepts.

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

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

My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you.
