Footnotes

  1. 20 Heb “in peace at the same time I will lie down and sleep.”
  2. 21 Heb “for you, Lord, solitarily, securely make me dwell.” The translation understands לְבָדָד (lévadad) as modifying the verb; the Lord keeps enemies away from the psalmist so that he is safe and secure. Another option is to take לְבָדָד with what precedes and translate, “you alone, Lord, make me secure.”
