For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David.
39:1 I decided,
and make sure I do not sin with my tongue.
I will put a muzzle over my mouth
while in the presence of an evil man.”
39:2 I was stone silent;
I held back the urge to speak.
My frustration grew;
39:9 I am silent and cannot open my mouth
because of what you have done.
