    give you counsel with my eye upon you.

    with bit and bridle their temper is curbed,
    else they will not come to you.

I will instruct(A) you and teach you(B) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on(C) you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle(D)
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,(E)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts(F) in him.

11 Rejoice in the Lord(G) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
