I lie down and I fall asleep, [and] I will wake up, for the Lord sustains me.
The forces of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the casualties there that day were heavy—twenty thousand men.
Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the Lord and against his anointed one:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.
God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.
Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, he utters his voice and the earth melts.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid, when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
When you lie down they will watch over you, when you wake, they will share your concerns; wherever you turn, they will guide you.
What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
