NET Bible
"I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done."
— Psalms 39:9, NET Bible
“I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.”
“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.”
“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 people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”
But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying? You are my only hope!
Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools’ insults!
I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.
Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!
You severely discipline people for their sins; like a moth you slowly devour their strength. Surely all people are a mere vapor.(Selah)
Hear my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cry for help! Do not ignore my sobbing! For I am a foreign resident with you, a temporary settler, just as all my ancestors were.
