Therefore let all who are faithful
    offer prayer to you;
at a time of distress,[a] the rush of mighty waters
    shall not reach them.(A)
You are a hiding place for me;
    you preserve me from trouble;
    you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah(B)

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my eye upon you.(C)
Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
    whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle,
    else it will not stay near you.(D)

10 Many are the torments of the wicked,
    but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.(E)
11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous,
    and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.(F)

  1. 32.6 Cn: Heb at a time of finding only

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;(A)
surely the rising(B) of the mighty waters(C)
    will not reach them.(D)
You are my hiding place;(E)
    you will protect me from trouble(F)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.(G)

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

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