Bible verses about "sleeplessness" | Darby

¹ {To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me. ² In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted. ³ I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. ⁴ Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak. ⁵ I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times. ⁶ I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search. ⁷ Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? ⁸ Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation? ⁹ Hath ?God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. ¹⁰ Then said I, This is my weakness: -- the years of the right hand of the Most High ¹¹ Will I remember, -- the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old, ¹² And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings. ¹³ O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a ?god as God? ¹⁴ Thou art the ?God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples. ¹⁵ Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. ¹⁶ The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled: ¹⁷ The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad: ¹⁸ The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked. ¹⁹ Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known. ²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

²¹ My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion: ²² so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy neck. ²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble; ²⁴ when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.

²⁴ when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet. ²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh; ²⁶ for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

¹⁶ And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.

¹ But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; ² he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that *ye* should be born anew. ⁸ The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things! ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness. ¹² If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe? ¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are; ²¹ but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised. ²³ And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him] and were baptised: ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all, ³² [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true; ³⁴ for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

² And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me. ² In my Father`s house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place; <sup>3</sup> and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be. <sup>4</sup> And ye know where I go, and ye know the way. <sup>5</sup> Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way? <sup>6</sup> Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me. <sup>7</sup> If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him. <sup>8</sup> Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us. <sup>9</sup> Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? <sup>10</sup> Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works. <sup>11</sup> Believe *me* that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works` sake themselves. ¹² Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father. ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live. ²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me. ²⁵ These things I have said to you, abiding with you; ²⁶ but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, *he* shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you. ²⁷ I leave peace with you; I give *my* peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear. ²⁸ Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass ye may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing; ³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence.

⁵ But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him: ⁶ but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about; ⁷ for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

⁶ But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.

⁴ but in everything commending ourselves as God`s ministers, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits, ⁵ in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

²¹ My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion: ²² so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy neck. ²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble; ²⁴ when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet. ²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh; ²⁶ for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

²⁴ when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid, but thou shalt lie down and thy sleep shall be sweet.

⁸ In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for thou, Jehovah, alone makest me to dwell in safety.
