‘He puts my feet in the stocks;He watches all my paths.’

When I remember You on my bed,I meditate on You in the night watches,

My eyes anticipate the night watches,That I may meditate on Your word.

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,And He watches all his paths.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;He who watches his way preserves his life.

If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.

“Arise, cry aloud in the nightAt the beginning of the night watches;Pour out your heart like waterBefore the presence of the Lord;Lift up your hands to HimFor the life of your little onesWho are faint because of hungerAt the head of every street.”
