Psalms
Psalm 39:2a "I was mute with silence..."
Day 314 – Psalm 39
“I was mute with silence…” Psalm 39:2a
TWO PARTS
David knew he needed to pray and ask for the Lord’s mercy and help. He also knew that he had to do his part when he had to confront wickedness. The difficulty lay in the fact that it was difficult to have the right balance.
THE BEST OF INTENTIONS
David had the best of intentions when he resolved to guard his ways, especially with reference to the use of the tongue. However, he faced a new problem when he sought to stick to his plan to muzzle his mouth.
“I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.”
Psalm 39:2
