Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
God — causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only — the refractory have inhabited a dry place.
I — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the age — Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increaseth might.
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul [that] seeketh Him.
Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.
Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.
He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.
He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.
