7You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.
8I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix my eyes upon you.
9Be you° not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; but you must constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.
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, you° righteous: and glory, all you° that are upright in heart.
