6For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee.

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, Elsethey will not come near unto thee.

9Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
