“"Many are the scourges of the sinner:" much is he scourged, who, confessing not his sins to God, would be his own ruler. "But he that trusts in the Lord, mercy compasses him about" [Psalm 32:10]; but he that trusts in the Lord, and submits himself to His rule, mercy shall compass him about.”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 32

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
— Psalms 32:10 —
11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
