⁸ In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, For you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.

⁵ I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

¹⁸ "'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

¹⁹ The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

¹⁰ But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety;

⁵ Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

²⁴ When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.

⁸ I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

¹³ I heard the voice from heaven saying, "Write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."

³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶ Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

³⁷ No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁸ In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, And with the birds of the sky, And with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, And will make them lie down safely.

²⁵ I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

¹⁸ You shall be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety.

¹⁹ Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; Yes, many shall court your favor.

²⁷ The eternal God is [your] dwelling-place, Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, Said, Destroy.

²⁸ Israel dwells in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

²⁹ Happy are you, Israel: Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, The shield of your help, The sword of your excellency! Your enemies shall submit themselves to you; You shall tread on their high places.

¹⁰ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

¹³ But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
