I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred.
Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation.
My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.
O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;
