in_o you_o and_o to_o make_v you_o his_o dwelling-place_n and_o then_o you_o be_v watchful_a shall_v not_o watch_v in_o vain_a because_o the_o lord_n then_o will_v be_v your_o keeper_n and_o th●n_o as_o one_o say_v of_o old_a he_o keep_v the_o city_n the_o watchman_n watch_v not_o in_o vain_a thus_o you_o may_v see_v it_o fulfil_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n unto_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o so_o
