- I keep the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - Because you are precious in my sight,
and honored, and I love you,

- I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.
