Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise - (cf. Psalms 109:30.) Thou hast heretofore given me continual reason to praise thee; do not now withhold thy word of power in my behalf (cf. Psalms 28:1; Psalms 35:22), that I may again have cause to praise thee (cf. Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalms 22:3; Psalms 44:8; Jeremiah 17:14). As the enemy's "mouth" and "tongue" "speak against me" (Psalms 109:2) for my destruction, so "hold not thy peace," or withhold not thy word, for my salvation.
