Psa 39:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : David managed to keep quiet, even when it was difficult. He says, “I was dumb with silence; I held my peace even from good” . Sometimes, he kept silent even when he could have said something good. This was not always wise, because the Bible teaches us to speak words that build others up (Ephesians 4:29 ). But David was so careful not to sin with his words that he went too far and said nothing at all.

‏ Psalms 39:2

v. 2: David managed to keep quiet, even when it was difficult. He says, “I was dumb with silence; I held my peace even from good”. Sometimes, he kept silent even when he could have said something good. This was not always wise, because the Bible teaches us to speak words that build others up (Ephesians 4:29 ^a). But David was so careful not to sin with his words that he went too far and said nothing at all.
