Shamar is a word of careful watching and protecting — Adam was to “keep” the garden, and Israel to “keep” God’s commandments. It implies attentive, faithful guarding, not casual storage.
Wonderfully, it is also what God does for us: “The LORD will keep (shamar) your going out and your coming in.” The priestly blessing “the LORD… keep you” entrusts us to a God who watches over his own.
Definition: properly, to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; generally, to protect, attend to, etc.
KJV usage: beward, be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep(-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch(-man).
