But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.
Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
