|
19. Oh how H4100 great H7227 is thy goodness H2898 , which H834 thou hast laid up H6845 for them that fear H3373 thee; which thou hast wrought H6466 for them that trust H2620 in thee before H5048 the sons H1121 of men H120 !
|
|
20. You hide them in the protection of Your presence; You conceal them in a shelter from the schemes of men, from quarrelsome tongues.
|
20. Thou shalt hide H5641 them in the secret H5643 of thy presence H6440 from the pride H4480 H7407 of man H376 : thou shalt keep them secretly H6845 in a pavilion H5521 from the strife H4480 H7379 of tongues H3956 .

|
22. In my alarm I had said, "I am cut off from Your sight." But You heard the sound of my pleading when I cried to You for help.
|
22. For I H589 said H559 in my haste H2648 , I am cut off H1629 from before H4480 H5048 thine eyes H5869 : nevertheless H403 thou heardest H8085 the voice H6963 of my supplications H8469 when I cried H7768 unto H413 thee.

|
|
