Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me 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 mine iniquity.

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

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in 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 hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

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

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

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

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

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

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

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

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.
