'Watch' in the Bible

A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.

ק QofArise, cry out in the nightfrom the first watch of the night.Pour out your heart like waterbefore the Lord’s presence.Lift up your hands to Himfor the lives of your childrenwho are fainting from hungeron the corner of every street.

Watch! Whether they sit down or stand up, they mock me with their songs.

The presence of Yahweh has scattered them, he will no longer watch over them; {they did not honor the priests}, they did not show mercy [to] elders.

Still our eyes failed, [looking for] our help in vain; in our watchtower, we kept watch for a nation that could not save.
