I rise before dawn
     and cry for help;
I hope in Your words.

that I may meditate
        upon Your promise.

And the king said,
"Is there not still
someone of the house of Saul,

Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives
         do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid.

(God's peace is different.
It is not based on circumstances,
             but on Him.)
