'God' is right. Sleep well!
Billy James Brightraven Is this Low German? Feels like it. Hmm, assuming VtV = equiv. of -ss- then beten might be somewhat like bisschen? beten = bissen (+standard German -chen suffix)
hett = hat?
Not sure how much spirantisation low german has, but f might be < p/b ?
if so scheef and leef might be schee<p b> or lee<p b> in Standard German.
sch = sk in North Germanic, no? so this might be related to Swedish "skev" (we did take in a lot of Low German loanwords so, or it might be common Germanic) which is askew?
A little scheef? has God leef?
hmm, I don't know what "ee" could be in Standard German. Maybe ie? schieb? lieb?
bisschen schieb hat Gott lieb? A bit of ? has God kind?
God holds dear a bit of askew?
That's all I can make out of it.

Maleen Schlüter Billy, you are right about Low German - and solved it! Your last translation is it. Bravo and your turn!
Billy James Brightraven Sounds like a proverb of some sort, yeah. My translation might be a bit crazy literal.
