²⁴ If you sit down,^[a] you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

²² When you walk, they^[a] will lead you;
    when you lie down, they^[b] will watch over you;
    and when you awake, they^[c] will talk with you.^(A)

⁴ He who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

² It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil,
    for he gives sleep to his beloved.^[a](A)

¹⁹ You will lie down, and no one will make you afraid;
    many will entreat your favor.
