I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety. For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.

As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word. GIMEL

I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.

I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself.

Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
