Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - Thou shalt hide (or, thou hidest) them in the secret of thy presence from the pride (rather, conspiracies) of man. Intense light forms as good a hiding-place as intense darkness. No vision can penetrate it. It is "too dazzling bright for mortal eye." Thus those whom God brings close to himself, and on whom he pours the light of his countenance, need no other protection. Their life is hid in God. Thou shalt keep them (or, thou keepest them) secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. God keeps his own in a "pavilion," or leafy arbour, a place of coolness and refreshment, far away from the "lying lips" (ver. 18) and slanderous tongues (ver. 13) of the ungodly.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) The secret of thy presence.--Better, in the hiding-place of thy countenance, a beautiful thought and common in the Psalms, although expressed by different images. In Psalm 27:5, "the hiding-place of his tabernacle;" 61:4, "of his wings;" 91:1, "of his shadow."The form the same image takes in the Christian's hope is beautifully expressed by Tennyson:"To lie within the light of God as I lie upon your breast,And the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."Pride.--Better, rough or wrangling talk, as the parallelism shows and the LXX. confirm; and, referring back to Psalm 31:18, Gesenius renders the word "conspiracies."
