Psalms 39:9

39:9 I am silent and cannot open my mouth

because of what you have done. ¹ 

Ezekiel 5:14

5:14 “I will make you desolate and an object of scorn among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.

[39:9]  ¹ tn Heb “because you acted.” The psalmist has in mind God’s disciplinary measures (see vv. 10-13).
