Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

3:5 By refocusing on the Lord (3:3-4) in the midst of his crisis, the psalmist can rest, confident of his safety (see study note on 4:8). The Lord cares for his servant; he protects him and keeps his mind and heart from fear (37:17; 54:4; 119:116; 145:14).

אֲנִ֥י שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וָֽאִ֫ישָׁ֥נָה הֱקִיצ֑וֹתִי כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי
(Some words not found in UHB: my=sound/voice to/towards YHWH cry and,answers,me from=hill holy,his selah )
Here, the phrase for Yahweh protects me is the reason for the result, I awoke, as well as the reason for the author’s confidence that he can lie down and sleep. The events laid down and slept are not one-time occurrences, but a universal statement about his daily peace because of Yahweh. If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “Because Yahweh protects me, I lie down, sleep, and awake.”
