Psalm 16:7-8

 
Psalm 16:7-8
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

The nighttime used to be a time
When my fears haunted me.
They lingered out of sight by day
But darkness set them free.

But as I’ve grown closer to Him
Night scares me less, it seems.
In fact, I sometimes hear His words
Comfort me in my dreams.

I read His words by light of day,
And hold them in my heart,
But, in the night, I ponder them,
To learn what they impart.

Thus, when I close my eyes, at last,
He is still on my mind.
Perhaps it is His peace each night
That, my old fears, now bind.
