#Psalmtweet #Psalter 3:6

Psalms 3:6 - a performance of the psalm is available here.

 This verse is a tri-cola with cadences on the supertonic and the subdominant. It has a very short second colon, one word, four syllables. David has enemies -- as do we, but he can sleep, and awaken.

אֲנִ֥י שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וָֽאִ֫ישָׁ֥נָה
הֱקִיצ֑וֹתִי
כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי
6 I lie down and I sleep.
I awake,
for Yahweh supports me.
