Proverbs 6:4, 9, 20–23; Psalms 139:1, 14, 17, 18, 23, 24; 4:6 Lord
Prov. 6:4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
20My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Ps. 139:1O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
4:6. . . Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
