“Getting Some Shut Eye”

Categories: OLD TESTAMENT
In the book of Psalms, which scripture mentions sweet sleep?

Sincerely,
Insomniac

Dear Insomniac,

The verse you are looking for is in Proverbs, not Psalms.  Pr. 3:24 talks about the sweetness of sleep that can only be found in a wisely led life (Pr 3:13).  When we lean on the Lord’s will and not our own understanding (Pr 3:5), we will find a wisdom that is worth more than silver and gold (Pr 3:14-16).
