- In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety. - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
- Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid? - He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. - Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
- Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the righteous to be moved. - He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. - A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. - You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
because he trusts in you. - I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
- Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever.
Don’t forsake the works of your own hands. - So then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
- It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man. - The fear of man proves to be a snare,
but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe. - For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
- Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:
the righteous run to him, and are safe. - He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.
I will never be greatly shaken. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. - Trust in Yahweh, and do good.
Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble. - Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident.
But I will sing of your strength.
Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.
For you have been my high tower,
a refuge in the day of my distress.The Rock: his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,
just and right is he.
