God that hidest thyself - Horsley, after Jerome, explains this as the confession of Egypt, etc., that God is concealed in human form in the person of Jesus. Rather, connected with Isa 45:9, Isa 45:10, the prophet, contemplating the wonderful issue of the seemingly dark counsels of God, implies a censure on those who presume to question God’s dealings (Isa 55:8, Isa 55:9; Deu 29:29). Faith still discerns, even under the veil, the covenant-keeping “God of Israel, the Savior” (Isa 8:17).
