Understand, and Speak

In churches throughout the world today, including in Massachusetts, people were saying or singing these words:

While I kept silence, my body wasted away, through my groaning all day long.*

and these:

Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding, whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.*

* From Psalm 32
