Psalms 39:2 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Dumb — Two words put together, expressing the same thing, to aggravate or increase it. I held — I forbear to speak, what I justly might, lest I should break forth into some indecent expressions. Stirred — My silence did not assuage my grief, but increase it.

Psalms 39:2

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