Proverbs 2:8

He keepeth Lit. to keep, which may mean, for them (those that walk in integrity) to keep, that they may keep, R.V. marg. But it is better to retain God as the subject still, and at the same time to preserve the parallelism with the 2nd clause of the verse. The two verses (7, 8) will then read, with R.V. text,

He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright,

He isa shield to them that walk in integrity;

That he may guard the paths of judgement,

And preserve the way of His saints.
