as we hear tonight's sleep story. Hi friend. I'm Bonnie Curry.

The Psalms are packed full of the pure and honest heart cries of people who found themselves

in all sorts of circumstances. I love the honesty with which they felt free to approach

God. May you feel that same comfort tonight.

Now, settle in for a good night's rest.

Relax, as I read several chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 35, a Psalm of David.

Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me.

Fight against them that fight against me.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me. Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and

brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind,

and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the

Lord persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit which without cause they

have digged for my soul let destruction come upon him at unawares and let his net that

he hath hid catch himself into that very destruction let him fall and my soul shall be joyful in the Lord it shall rejoice in

his salvation all my bones shall say Lord who is like unto thee which deliverest the poor from him

that is too strong for him.

Yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him.
