432 Pious Are Those Who Are Often Quiet Before God
Verse 1
You must come before God,
read and ponder His words, accept His guidance,
submit to all people, things, and matters
that God has arranged for you.
Verse 2
When it comes to things you cannot fathom,
you must pray often while seeking the truth;
only by understanding God’s will
can you find a way forward.

You must be in reverence of God,
do what you should, and do it cautiously,
be at peace before God and reject debauchery.
Verse 3
If something happens to you,
at first, calm yourself, and then pray right away.
With prayer, waiting, and seeking,
you will understand God’s will.
Chorus
If you can revere and submit to God,
and be quiet before Him and grasp His will,
you will be protected.
Bridge
You will not meet temptation nor offend God,
nor do things that interrupt His work,
or go so far that you provoke God’s loathing.
If your heart lives before God,
you will fear God in many things,
you will be held in check.
You won’t be dissolute nor speak nonsense.
Accept God’s observation and discipline,
and you will shun evil.
Verse 4
When something happens,
those who do not love the truth act by their own will.
They fail to seek the truth and pray to God,
show arrogance, satanic ways.
Verse 5
They reject God’s scrutiny and God’s discipline.
They disobey God and they live before Satan,
controlled by their satanic disposition.
Channel 2
They don’t fear God, cannot shun evil.
Even without evil deeds, their thoughts are evil.
They have nothing to do with the truth
and are against the truth.
Chorus
If you can revere and submit to God,
and be quiet before Him and grasp His will,
you will be protected.
If you can revere and submit to God,
and be quiet before Him and grasp His will,
you will be protected.
