For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer.Selah.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the waywhich thou shalt go: I will guide[a] thee with mine eye.
9
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,lest they come near unto thee.
10
Manysorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD,mercy shall compass him about.
11
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
