I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
I, the LORD, am the one who guards it; I will water it constantly. To prevent anyone from harming it, I will protect it both night and day.
God is promising to constantly care for and protect His people like a gardener who waters and guards a precious vineyard around the clock.
