I will teach you the right way to live.
I will be your guide
    and I will take care of you.[a]
Do not be like a silly horse, or a mule.
You have to use a rope to show them which way to go.
    Without that, they will not obey you.
10 Wicked people will receive a lot of trouble and pain.
But if anyone trusts in the Lord,
    they will know that God always loves them.

Footnotes

  1. 32:8 These are God's words. He is promising to take care of David.

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.
