May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.

Without self-control our lives are in shambles.
Proverbs 25:28
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
