²⁴ If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.

⁵ I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

²² In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh `with' thee.

⁸ In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

⁶ `And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

² Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.

²⁶ On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.

¹⁹ And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;

⁴ Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

⁵ Jehovah `is' thy preserver, Jehovah `is' thy shade on thy right hand,

⁶ By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

¹⁵ I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
