I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and secure.

I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among those who want to devour me; men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are a sharp sword.

When you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver and with glittering gold.

You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest; you are aware of everything I do.
