Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.
6
Many there are that say, Who will show us `any' good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 5 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
