-
O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
-
He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
-
The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.
-
They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.

Deliver Me from My Enemies
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;
-
O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress.
-
May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
-
when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
-
who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
-
For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together
-
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
-
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.

Unless the Lord Builds the House
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
-
my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
-
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
-
The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
