You are a shield about me, O Lord; You give me victory and restore my courage. To my Lord I cry aloud, and You answer me from Your holy mount. Let the light of Your face shine upon me, O Lord. You have filled my heart with greater joy than when they gaze upon their bountiful crops at harvest time! I lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe. [Ps 3:3-4; 4:6-8]
