I was muteand silent,I refrained[even] from good,And my sorrowgrewworse.
Teachme, O LORD,the wayof Your statutes,And I shall observeit to the end.
Giveme understanding,that I may observeYour lawAnd keepit with all[my] heart.
Seta guard,O LORD,over my mouth;Keepwatchoverthe doorof my lips.
Departfrom eviland dogood;Seekpeaceand pursueit.
He was oppressedand He was afflicted,Yet He did not openHis mouth;Like a lambthat is ledto slaughter,And like a sheepthat is silentbeforeits shearers,So He did not openHis mouth.
"Do not givewhatis holyto dogs,and do not throwyour pearlsbeforeswine,orthey will trample them undertheir feet,and turnand tear you to pieces.
for we cannotstopspeakingabout whatwe have seenand heard."
