Psalm 31:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Let the lying lips be made dumb, which cruelly, proudly, and spitefully speak against the righteous.
19 How great is thy goodness, which thou [a]hast laid up for them that fear thee! and done to them that trust in thee, even before the sons of men!
20 Thou dost hide them [b][c]privily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

for with pride and contempt
they speak arrogantly(B) against the righteous.

from all human intrigues;(H)
you keep them safe in your dwelling
