¹⁸ I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
    you are still with me!

³ You see me when I travel
    and when I rest at home.
    You know everything I do.

⁵ I lay down and slept,
    yet I woke up in safety,
    for the Lord was watching over me.

⁵ O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
    Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
    You have no equal.
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
    I would never come to the end of them.

⁶ I lie awake thinking of you,
    meditating on you through the night.
⁷ Because you are my helper,
    I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

¹⁵ Because I am righteous, I will see you.
    When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.

⁸ I know the Lord is always with me.
    I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

⁹ No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.^[a]
    My body rests in safety.
¹⁰ For you will not leave my soul among the dead^[b]
    or allow your holy one^[c] to rot in the grave.
¹¹ You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.^[d]

¹⁹ But those who die in the Lord will live;
    their bodies will rise again!
Those who sleep in the earth
    will rise up and sing for joy!
For your life-giving light will fall like dew
    on your people in the place of the dead!
