When the day ends with regret, and you need to lay it before God: Psalm 51, "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy", the seven penitential psalms, Psalm 103, "Bless the Lord, O my soul", Psalm 130, "Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Lord", Psalm 136, "For his mercy endures for ever", and more psalms of forgiveness and God's steadfast love, read slowly and calmly for sleep, with gentle rain and a soft Byzantine ison drone. No music, no commentary and no verse numbers: just the Psalms, from the Greek Septuagint, the Psalter of the Orthodox Church.

The full cycle is read six times, so you can fall asleep at any point. The psalms carry the Septuagint numbering, with the familiar Hebrew/KJV number in brackets.

All 151 Psalms of the Orthodox Psalter, read slowly and calmly for sleep, rest and prayer — with gentle rain and a soft Byzantine ison drone. No music, no commentary and no verse numbers in between: just the Psalms, from the Greek Septuagint, the Old Testament of the Orthodox Church.
