Hid, i.e. protected, as in some secret and safe place. From the scourge of the tongue, i.e. from false accusations and virulent slanders and reproaches, either by diverting their tongues to other persons or things, or by clearing thy integrity. Neither shalt thou be afraid; thou shalt have no cause to fear it, because God will secure thee in it and from it. When it cometh, to wit, upon others; near thee, or round about thee.
