Salmos 31:20

20 Los escondes en el refugio de tu presencia,
a salvo de los que conspiran contra ellos.
Los proteges en tu presencia,
los alejas de las lenguas acusadoras.

Salmos 31:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 31:20

Thou shall hide them in the secret of thy presence
That is, those that fear the Lord and trust in him; and therefore they are called his "hidden ones", ( Psalms 83:3 ) ; these the Lord preserves in times of trouble and danger, and when his indignation is out against others; and so the Targum is, "in the time of thine anger"; see ( Isaiah 26:20 ) ; the presence of God is their protection, he himself is a wall of fire round about them, his favour compasses them as a shield, and they are kept as in a garrison by his power; see ( Psalms 91:1 ) ; and that "from the pride of man", which otherwise would at once oppress, bear them down, and destroy them, ( Psalms 124:1-5 ) ;

thou shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of
tongues;
which areas a sharp sword, and from whence proceed devouring words, such contradiction of sinners as Christ endured; not that the saints are kept free from the reproaches of men, from the lash of their tongues, but from being harmed by them; and sometimes, through the strivings and contentions of men with one another, they privately escape and are preserved, as the Apostle Paul was, ( Acts 23:9 Acts 23:10 ) .

Salmos 31:20 In-Context

18 Silencia sus labios mentirosos,
esos labios orgullosos y arrogantes que acusan al justo.

19 Qué grande es la bondad
que has reservado para los que te temen.
La derramas en abundancia sobre los que acuden a ti en busca de protección,
y los bendices ante la mirada del mundo.

20 Los escondes en el refugio de tu presencia,
a salvo de los que conspiran contra ellos.
Los proteges en tu presencia,
los alejas de las lenguas acusadoras.

21 Alaben al Señor
,
porque me ha mostrado las maravillas de su amor inagotable;
me mantuvo a salvo cuando atacaban mi ciudad.

22 Lleno de pánico, clamé:
«¡Me han separado del Señor
!».
Pero tú oíste que supliqué misericordia
y respondiste a mi pedido de auxilio.
