Psalms 4:7
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
