Do not behave without understanding
    like a horse or a mule;
if its temper is not curbed with bit and bridle,
    it will not come near you.
10 The wicked has a multitude of troubles,
    but the man who trusts in the Lord
    is surrounded by kindness.[a]
11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
    shout for joy, all you upright of heart.[b]
