About

Scripture Sleep

Features
Read full description

Some nights the mind won't quiet. Scripture Sleep is a simple, beautiful way to fall asleep in the Word - no feeds, no noise, no accounts. Open it, and a Psalm rests over a slowly drifting night sky while it's read aloud in a soft, calm voice. Set a sleep timer - 15, 30, or 60 minutes - and the narration fades out gently on its own, so scripture is the last thing you hear as you drift off. It keeps playing with your screen locked, and you can pause right from the lock screen. Included Psalms: - Psalm 23 - The Lord is my shepherd - Psalm 4 - I will lie down and sleep in peace - Psalm 91 - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High - Psalm 121 - He who keeps you will not slumber - Psalm 131 - I have calmed and quieted my soul Scripture is the Berean Standard Bible. The app collects no data, needs no sign-up, and works fully offline. Just rest.
