7. You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
8. I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
9. Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
10. Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
