Psalms 39:9

I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done. ¹ 

I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this.

"I have become mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it.

I am silent before you; I won’t say a word. For my punishment is from you.

I'll say no more, I'll shut my mouth, since you, Lord, are behind all this.

I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

I am silent; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.

I was mute, I did not open my mouth, Because it was You who did it .

I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done. ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “because you acted.” The psalmist has in mind God’s disciplinary measures (see vv. 10-13).
