- For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Selah

- Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him.

- I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

- Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!
