Psalms 39:1-2

What Is the Measure of My Days?

To the choirmaster: to aJeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 I said, “I will bguard my ways,
that I cmay not sin with my tongue;
I will dguard my mouth with a muzzle,
so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2I was emute and silent;
I held my peace to no avail,
and my distress grew worse.

Psalms 39:9

9 fI am mute; I do not open my mouth,
gfor it is you who have done it.

Isaiah 53:7

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
hyet he opened not his mouth;
ilike a jlamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.

Matthew 27:12-14

12 kBut when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. 13Then Pilate said to him, l“Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” 14But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.

Acts 8:32

32Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

mLike a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.

1 Peter 2:23

23 nWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, obut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
