Lord, our God, make us lie down each night in peace

and our King, raise us up again to life.

Spread over us Your peace, and guide us to better ourselves

Through Your good counsel

And deliver us for Your name's sake.

Shield us and remove from us enemies, sickness, war, hunger and sadness.

And from behind us, and in the shadow of Your wings, shelter us.

Because, you are the  Almighty King, gracious and merciful.

Guard our going out and our coming in, 

For life and peace, for now and forever. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace.

Praised are You, Lord, who spreads the shelter of peace over us,

And over His people Israel,

and over Jerusalem.

The Lord is my shepherd, 

I shall not want

He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures

He leadeth me beside the still waters

He restoreth my soul

He guideth me in straight paths
for his name sake

Yea, though I walk through
the Valley of Death

I shall fear no evil, 

for Thou art with me

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me 

In the presence of mine enemies

Thou hast anointed my head with oil, 

my cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life,

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

Forevermore, forevermore
