Holy Scripture

Psalms 39:2

A church father on this verse
“If you know there is sin, be silent. Do not add to your guilt by denying it. If you are not aware of sin, be silent. You are secure in your innocence. The reports of other people cannot nail any sin to a conscience that knows itself to be innocent.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms

1For the end, a Psalm of David.

— Psalms 39:2 —

3And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, And from miry clay: And he set my feet on a rock, And ordered my goings aright.

4And he put a new song into my mouth, Even a hymn to our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall hope in the Lord.
