Psalms 31:20
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
KJV
In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
ASV
מָ֤ה רַֽב טוּבְ/ךָ֮ אֲשֶׁר צָפַ֪נְתָּ לִּֽ/ירֵ֫אֶ֥י/ךָ פָּ֭עַלְתָּ לַ/חֹסִ֣ים בָּ֑/ךְ נֶ֝֗גֶד בְּנֵ֣י אָדָם
Hebrew
Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
YLT
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
