Welcome back to the Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible, where we continue our journey through the Psalms — a collection of songs and prayers that speak to every human emotion, from wonder to worship, from fear to faith.
In tonight’s episode, we’ll read Psalms 19 through 37 from the King James Bible, accompanied by soft, soothing background music to help you unwind and draw near to the peace of God’s presence. These Psalms remind us of the Lord’s majesty revealed in creation, His guidance through His Word, and His steadfast love toward those who trust in Him.
You’ll hear David’s praises, laments, and affirmations of faith, all pointing to the unchanging goodness of God — a perfect way to quiet the heart before sleep.
Highlighted Verses:

• Psalm 19:1 — “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
• Psalm 23:1–2 — “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.”
• Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
• Psalm 30:5 — “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
• Psalm 37:4 — “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

As you listen tonight, allow these timeless words to wash over your soul — bringing rest, comfort, and renewed trust in the Lord’s unfailing faithfulness.
God Bless.

In these chapters, Jesus begins revealing to His disciples that He must suffer and die, teaching them about true discipleship and the cost of following Him. We witness the Transfiguration, hear the parables of the kingdom, and listen as Jesus lovingly warns against hypocrisy and pride. Each passage draws us closer to the heart of our Savior — humble, compassionate, and steadfast in His purpose.

• Matthew 16:24 — “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
• Matthew 17:5 — “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
• Matthew 18:20 — “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
• Matthew 22:37–39 — “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind… Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
• Matthew 23:12 — “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”

As you listen tonight, may these sacred words bring calm to your spirit and draw your heart nearer to the Lord’s peace and wisdom.

God Bless.

Hello, this is Steve, your host at Sleepy Scriptures. If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ll know that with the recent episodes, the entire King James Bible is now availablehere on Sleepy Scriptures. Over the past two and a half years, through more than 200 episodes, I’ve shared this journey with you—a true labor of love. My prayer is that these recordings will continue to be a source of rest, comfort, andinspiration for you, and for anyone who happens to discover this humble podcast.

With that milestone behind us, I’d like to introduce something new. Beginning October 6th, 2025, I’ll be repackaging the Sleepy Scriptures readings into a One Year Bible format. I know there are many Bible-in-a-year programs out there but none, as far as I know, are offered in the gentle, restful style of Sleepy Scriptures.

Here’s how it will work: each week, I’ll release three One Year Bible episodes, blending readings from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Psalms. Rather than following a straight line from Genesis to Revelation, this format will provide a balanced and refreshing mix of scripture every week.

If you’re not a paid subscriber, you may encounter advertisements during the episodes. I’d love for you to consider becoming a subscriber—not only will it improve your listening experience, but it also helps me keep this ministry going.

Above all, I thank God for you, my listeners. My hope is that Sleepy Scriptures will continue to serve His Kingdom and bring peace and encouragement to you in these challengingtimes.

God bless.
