The Nugget:

Psa 4:8  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. (KJV)

Psa 4:8  I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down because you alone, O LORD, enable me to live securely. (GW, God’s Word translation)

Psa 4:8 I can lie down and sleep soundly because you, LORD, will keep me safe. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

My Comment:

If you find it hard to go to sleep at night, try trusting in this Bible promise and testimony. Rather than counting sheep, count your blessings. While you are awake, pray for yourself and others. No need for sleep medicines!
