Lay us down, LORD God, in peace,
and raise us up again, our King, to [new] life.
Spread over us Your tabernacle [of peace],
And guide us with Your good counsel.
Save us for Your name's sake.
Shield us from every enemy, plague, sword, famine,
sorrow, and grief.
Remove the adversary from before and behind us.
Guard our going out and our coming in, now and always.
Spread over us Your tabernacle [of peace],
Blessed are You, LORD, who spreads Your tabernacle of peace over us,
And over all His people Israel and over Jerusalem.
