COVEDALE VERSION from the BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER
8 Thou hast put gladness in my heart :
since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased.
9 I will lay me down in peace, and take rest:
for it is thou Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.
If you have had to live with shortage or rationing or debt
then you will know yourself that having enough money or food
removes anxiety and brings gladness to the heart.
The Lord's provision brings peace and rest and safety.
And when we come to live in peace and rest and safety,
we can appreciate what other folk are going through.
Christian discernment is strongly related to common sense ,
maturity as opposed to immaturity, and Christian love.
