Psalms 39:2

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

I was dumb {H481} with silence {H1747}, I held my peace {H2814}{H8689)}, even from good {H2896}; and my sorrow {H3511} was stirred {H5916}{H8738)}.

I was silent, said nothing, not even good; but my pain kept being stirred up.

I was speechless and still; I remained silent, even from speaking good, and my sorrow was stirred.

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.
