Psalms31:19

19. O how great is thy goodness , which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men .

No words can express the greatness of thy Love and Blessings.

Or, hidden, to wit, with thy self, or in thy own Breast. The word is very Emphatical, and removes an Objection of ungodly Men, taken from the present Calamities of good Men. His Favour, it is true, is not always manifested, to or for them, but it is laid up for them in his Treasure, whence it shall be drawn forth when they need it, and he sees it fit.

Or, hast Prepared, as Exod. 15. 17. Or, wilst work, the past time being put for the Future, to note the certainty of it, as is Common in the Prophetical writings.

(i. e) Publickly and in the view of the World, their very Enemies seeing and admiring, and envying it, but not being able to hinder it.

Marginal references: Isa. 64. 4. 1 Cor. 2. 9.
