Psalms 3:5

Rest and sabbathProtection and safetyFearGod's faithfulness

3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
