Psalms 31:20

Compare all

18 ^aLet the lying lips be put to silence,
Which ^bspeak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 ^aOh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!

20 ^aYou shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
^bYou shall keep them secretly in a¹ pavilion
From the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,
For ^aHe has shown me His marvelous kindness in a¹ strong city!

22 For I said in my haste,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried out to You.

Psalms 31:20

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence - besether paneycha , "With the covering of thy countenance." Their life shall be so hidden with Christ in God, that their enemies shall not be able to find them out. To such a hiding-place Satan himself dare not approach. There the pride of man cannot come.

Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion - Thou shalt put them in the innermost part of thy tent. This implies that they shall have much communion and union with God; that they shall be transformed into his likeness, and have his highest approbation.
