World English Bible
"I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred."
— Psalms 39:2, World English Bible
“I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.”
“I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. ”
“I was stone silent; I held back the urge to speak. My frustration grew;”
“With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.”
“I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.”
“I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.”
I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:
"Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.
Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.
