⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
⁹ Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
¹⁰ Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
Psalm 32:8-11 (NIV)
