5. I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.I decided to confess them to you, O Lord.Then you forgave all my sins. Selah
6. For this reason let all godly people pray to youwhen you may be found.Then raging floodwater will not reach them.
7. You are my hiding place.You protect me from trouble.You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. Selah
8. ⌊The Lord says,⌋“I will instruct you.I will teach you the way that you should go.I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
9. Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule.⌊They need⌋ a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,or they will not come near you.”
10. Many heartaches await wicked people,but mercy surrounds those who trust the Lord.
11. Be glad and find joy in the Lord, you righteous people.Sing with joy, all whose motives are decent.
