to hide the wicked from his eyes.

We don’t set the time

when we will come before God in judgment.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.

Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man

to go to God in the judgment.

For his eyes are upon the ways of man,

And he seeth all his goings.

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death,

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

That he should enter into judgment with God.
