Be slow to speak and quick to listen. Take time before you spout off at
the mouth, before you just say that. Be slow to speak, say less.

Whether it's in the home or in the workplace or here in our meetings, be
slow to speak, be quick to listen. Why? Because he says in verse 4, look
at what happened to David. This has been my prayer.

Lord, I want to be slower to speak. I want my words to be few. We sing
in another song.

You are God in heaven, here I am on earth, and so let my words be few.
You're God in heaven, I'm here on earth. Help me never to forget that.

Help me never to think that I can lift up my head and say, how dare you
God? Let my words be few. You're God in heaven, I'm here on earth.
