Hide


Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he will hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock.

God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in sea storm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.

What a stack of blessing you have piled up for those who worship you, Ready and waiting for all who run to you to escape an unkind world. You hide them safely away from the opposition. As you slam the door on those oily, mocking faces, you silence the poisonous gossip. Blessed God! His love is the wonder of the world.

I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.

And me? I'm singing your prowess, shouting at cockcrow your largesse, For you've been a safe place for me, a good place to hide. Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you— God, my dependable love.

Psalm 17:8 Psalm 27:5 Psalm 46:1 Psalm 31:19 Psalm 40:10 Psalm 59:16

A person of integrity has nothing to hide.
