Homilies on Psalm 38, Homilia I · §1

I said, I will guard my ways

I said, I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue. When the sinner rose against me I set a muzzle and was silent, humbled.

Latin

Dixi custodiam vias meas ut non delinquam in lingua mea. Posui ori meo custodiam cum consisteret peccator adversum me. Obmutui et humiliatus sum.
