God provides homes for those who are deserted. He leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a scorched land.
I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the Lord sustains me.
I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety.
He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
In vain you get up early and stay up late, working hard to have enough food — yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding.
He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless.

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the person who seeks him.
It is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
Let him sit alone and be silent, for God has disciplined him.
Let him put his mouth in the dust — perhaps there is still hope.
