American Standard Version
"I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it. "
— Psalms 39:9, American Standard Version
“I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.”
“I was mute. I didn't open my mouth, because you did it.”
“I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.”
“That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.”
“I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.”
“I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.”
Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish.
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it.
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. [Selah
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
