Psalms 32:8
6 Therefore let all the godly pray to You while You may be found. Surely when great waters rise, they will not come near.
7 You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.
9 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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
