Psalm 39:1-3 "I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,"
I don't know the background to this verse. However, I have been in this situation so many times. For whatever reason, I had the urge to speak. Maybe I was being attacked verbally or for some other reason. One of the hardest things a person will ever have to do is to control his tongue. Sometimes the easy thing to do is to defend ourselves or try to ease the pain of silence.
The Scriptures command us to be Spirit filled or controlled. A Spirit filled man will be completely controlled by the Spirit.
Oh, Lord, help me to say the things I should say, when I should say them. Help me to know when I don't need to say anything.
