Psalms 32:9

7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you.

10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but loving devotion surrounds him who trusts in the LORD.

11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, O righteous ones; shout for joy, all you upright in heart.
