Psalms 39:9. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because thou didst it.
This verse should read, "I will be dumb, I will not open my mouth, because thou hast done it." That is a better silence than the first, for the psalmist is getting into a right state. This is the proper silence, the other was brazen, this is golden. God help us to know how and when to practice it! Never speak against God whatever he does, open not your mouth when he chastens because whatever he does must be right.
