Which (B)speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 (C)Oh, 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 (D)You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
(E)You shall keep them secretly in a [a]pavilion
From the strife of tongues.

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