and you will find the right way to go. - I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. - Rejoice, O people of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem!

yet he is humble, riding on a donkey—
riding on a donkey’s colt. - People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
