Exegesis
The conjunction ve-al-mishmarti {וְעַל־מִ֨שְׁמַרְתִּ֔י | wə-ʿal-miš-mar-tî} parallels the first clause, with the Niphal participle nitzav {נִצָּ֖ב | niṣ-ṣāv} and kol-halilot {כָּל־הַלֵּילֽוֹת | kôl-hă-lē-lōt} framing nightly vigilance. This parallelism underscores unbroken watchfulness.
In context — Isaiah 21:8
And he cried, “Lion!” from the watchtower, “O Lord , I stand continually by day and remain at my post through all the nights.”
