Watches

The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.

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

But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

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

The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

He who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.
