5I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. Pause.
6Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
7Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.
8I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
9Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding: but thou must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.
10Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
Psalms 31
