I lay down and slept;I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.

Arise, O Yahweh; save me, O my God!For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,For to You I pray.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;Evil does not sojourn with You.
