Psalm 39:2

Psalm 39:2 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

2So I remained utterly silent,

not even saying anything good.

But my anguish increased;

2I was mute and silent,

I refused to say even something good,

And my pain was stirred up.

2I was mute and silent [before my enemies],

I refrained even from good,

And my distress grew worse.

2I was speechless and still;

I remained silent, even from speaking good,

and my sorrow was stirred.

2I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good;

And my sorrow was stirred.

2I was dumme and spake nothing: I kept silece euen from good, and my sorow was more stirred.

2I was mute with silence.

I held my peace, even from good.

My sorrow was stirred.

2So I was completely silent.

I didn’t even say anything good.

But the pain inside me grew worse.

2So I did not speak a word,

even about good things.

That made me very upset.

2I was mute [with] silence, || I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.
