Psalms 31:6-11

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.
