Verse 1

I quiet myself before God,

pray and bare my heart to Him.

I simply and honestly open up,

speak from the heart.

I hand my difficulties and shortcomings over to God

and look to Him.

May God enlighten and illuminate me

to understand His will.

Through sincere seeking,

I gain the Holy Spirit’s light in me.

Understanding the truth,

I gain discernment and have a path of practice.

With God’s guidance I live in the light,

my heart is full of joy and sweetness.

I quiet myself before God.

Verse 2

Quiet before God, I ponder His words.

I see humanity’s corruption,

how we’ve lost all human likeness.

With the revelations and judgment of God’s words

I reflect on myself:

Motives lurk behind my words, I lie too much.

In my duty, I’m without principles of the truth,

I adhere to rules in my actions.

I lack love for brothers and sisters,

I’m both arrogant and selfish.

I still need to accept more

of God’s judgment, trials and cleansing.

I quiet myself before God.

Verse 3

Quieting myself before God

and seeking the truth,

I gradually grow in my life.

Quieting myself before God

and reflecting on myself,

I gain true repentance.

I often quiet myself before God

and truly commune with Him.

It allows me to fear God and shun evil,

and live before Him.

In all things I accept God’s inspection;

I live in the light.

Cleansing occurs in me,

and I live out a true, true life.

I quiet myself before God.

Verse 4

Often thinking on God’s words,

I’ve reaped a great harvest.

The Holy Spirit has enlightened me

to understand even more truths.

Fulfilling my duty,

I’m at ease and find enjoyment.

Putting God’s words into practice,

I receive His blessings and love.

Through sincere seeking

I gain the Holy Spirit’s light in me.

Understanding the truth,

I gain discernment

and have a path of practice.

With God’s guidance I live in the light,

my heart is full of joy and sweetness.

I quiet myself before God.

My heart is full of joy and sweetness.

I quiet myself before God, before God.

I quiet myself before God.

I quiet myself before God.
