'Kept' in the Bible

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

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

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

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a 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 rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: They kept his testimonies, And the statute that he gave them.

Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.

This I have had, Because I have kept thy precepts.

I understand more than the aged, Because I have kept thy precepts.
