from my groaning all day long.#Ps 31:10; 38:8; Jr 20:9
4For day and night your hand was heavy on me;#Jb 23:2; Ps 38:2
my strength was drained#32:4 Hb obscure
as in the summer’s heat.#Ps 22:15; 39:10Selah
5Then I acknowledged my sin to you#Ps 51:4

You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.Selah
8I will instruct you and show you the way to go;#Ps 25:8,12
with my eye on you, I will give counsel.#Ps 33:18; 73:24
9Do not be like a horse or mule,
without understanding,
that must be controlled with bit and bridle
or else it will not come near you.#Pr 26:3; Jms 3:3
10Many pains come to the wicked,#Pr 13:21; Rm 2:9
but the one who trusts in the Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.#Ps 5:12
11Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
you righteous ones;
shout for joy,
all you upright in heart.#Ps 64:10; 68:3; 97:12
