A Psalm in hope (#6). Of Solomon

6: 1 - 6 (translated by R.B. Wright, 1985)
Happy is the man whose heart is ready to call on the name of the Lord;
when he remembers the name of the Lord, he will be saved.
His ways are directed by the Lord,
and the works of his hands are protected by the Lord his God.
His soul will not be disturbed by the vision of evil dreams;
he will not be frightened when crossing rivers or rough seas.
He gets up from his sleep and blesses the name of the Lord;
when his heart is at rest he sings in honor of his God's name.
He prays to the Lord for all his household,
and the Lord has heard the prayers of all who fear God.
And the Lord fulfills every request from the soul that hopes in Him;
praised is the Lord, who shows mercy to those who truly love Him.
