Don’t be like some senseless horse or mule,
    whose movement must be controlled
    with a bit and a bridle.[a]
        Don’t be anything like that![b]
10 The pain of the wicked is severe,
    but faithful love surrounds the one who trusts the Lord.
11 You who are righteous, rejoice in the Lord and be glad!
    All you whose hearts are right, sing out in joy!

Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle(A)
    or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,(B)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts(C) in him.

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