Wesley's Notes for Psalms 39:3

39:1 I said - I fully resolved. Take heed - To order all my actions right, and particularly to govern my tongue.

39:2 Dumb - Two words put together, expressing the same thing, to aggravate or increase it. I held - I forbear to speak, what I justly might, lest I should break forth into some indecent expressions. Stirred - My silence did not assuage my grief, but increase it.

39:4 My end - Make me sensible of the shortness and uncertainly of life, and the near approach of death.

39:5 Before thee - If compared with thee, and with thy everlasting duration.
