Psalms 3:5_7.

I laid down and slept i

awaked for the lord sustained me.

6.I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people ,that set themselves round about me .

7.Arise o Lord; save me, o my God for thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone ;thou has broken the teeth of the ungodly

8.keep me as the Apple of my eye ,hide me under the shadow of thy wings

9.from the wicked that oppress me ,from my deadly enemies which compass me about

18.And thou shall be secure because there is hope yea ,thou shall dig about thee, and thou shall take thy rest in safety

19.Also thou shall lie down ,and none shall make you afraid, yea many shall make suit against thee.

20.But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
