As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

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

I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.

I understand more than the aged, because I have kept your precepts.

I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.

If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
