Dorothy selected these verses from the Psalms:
From Psalm 4
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
For you alone, O Lord,
Make me dwell in safety.
From Psalm 27
One thing I ask of the Lord
This is what I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life.
From Psalm 30
Weeping may remain for a night
But rejoicing comes in the morning.
From Psalm 31
Be strong and take heart,
All you who hope in the Lord.
From Psalm 34
I sought the Lord and he answered me,
He delivered me from all fears.
Amen!
