In Peace I Will Lie Down and Sleep

Answer me when I call to You,

   my Righteous God.

Give me relief from my distress;

   have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2  How long will you people turn my glory into shame?

    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?

3  Know that the Lord has set apart His faithful servant for Himself;

    the Lord hears when I call to him.

4  Tremble and do not sin;

    when you are on your beds,

    search your hearts and be silent.

5  Offer the sacrifices of the righteous

    and trust in the Lord.

6  Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?"

    Let the light of Your Face shine on us.

7   Fill my heart with joy

    when their grain and new wine abound.

8  In peace I will lie down and sleep,

                for you alone, Lord,

                             make me dwell in safety.
