I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, LORD, enable me to live securely. To the Director: For flutes. A Davidic Psalm

Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.

The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring life. The testimony of the LORD is steadfast, making foolish people wise.

He causes me to lie down in pastures of green grass; he guides me beside quiet waters.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek to do me harm brag all day long about their wicked planning.

I delight to do your will, my God. Your Law is part of my inner being."

They say, "Wickedness is entrenched in him. Once he is brought low, he will not rise again."

He will turn the evil upon those who lie in wait for me. Cut them off with your truth.

They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life.

I am surrounded by lions. I lie down with those who burn with fire that is, with people whose teeth are like spears and arrows whose tongues are like sharp swords.

Look, they lie in ambush for my life; these violent men gather together against me, but not because of any transgression or sin of mine, LORD.

Don't kill them! Otherwise, my people may forget. By your power make them stumble around; bring them down low, Lord, our Shield.

When you men lie down among the sheepfolds, you are like the wings of the dove covered with silver, with its feathers in glittering gold."

They say to themselves, "We'll crush them completely;" They burned down all the meeting places of God in the land.

We will not withhold them from their descendants; we'll declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD his might and awesome deeds that he has performed.

He established a decree in Jacob, and established the Law in Israel, that he commanded our ancestors to reveal to their children

They did not keep God's covenant, and refused to live by his Law.

Don't charge us for previous iniquity, but let your compassion come quickly to us, for we have been brought very low.

God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor. Then we'll be delivered. For the Director: On the Gittith. By Asaph.

Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.

I have sworn by my holiness once for all: I will not lie to David.

My eyes gloated over those who lie in wait for me; when those of evil intent attack me, my ears will hear.

How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,

Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?

in the LORD's presence, who comes to judge the earth; He'll judge the world righteously; and its people fairly.

In a pillar of cloud he spoke to them; they obeyed his decrees and the Law that he gave them.

I lie awake, yet I am like a bird isolated on a rooftop.

When the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens.

yet stooping low to observe the sky and the earth?

the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.

How blessed are those whose life is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD!

Then I will always keep your Law, forever and ever,

The wicked lay in wait to destroy me, while I ponder your decrees.

Though the wicked lay a trap for me, I haven't wandered away from your precepts.

"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive."

"I will not enter my house, or lie down on my bed,

If I rise to heaven, there you are! If I lay down with the dead, there you are!

Pay attention to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Deliver me from my tormentors, for they are far too strong for me.
