Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.
when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Dost thou not know, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not nor tireth? There is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and shall tire, and the young men shall stumble and fall;
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth:
He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;
he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope;
