4. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5. I acknowledged my sin to you,and I did not cover my iniquity;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6. Therefore let everyone who is godlyoffer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;surely in the rush of great waters,they shall not reach him.
7. You are a hiding place for me;you preserve me from trouble;you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,which must be curbed with bit and bridle,or it will not stay near you.
