1. WE NAME WHAT’S KEEPING US UP AT NIGHT

1 O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. 2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!”

3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. 4 I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain.

5 I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me. 6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.
