Divine providence operates on two distinct levels: one concealed for the future, and another clearly visible in the present world. A deep sense of awe arises when considering the abundant good God prepares and carries out for those who place their trust in Him, particularly when they face the mockery or harm of others.
The first aspect of this divine care involves a hidden goodness kept safely in secret [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The primary approach among commentators is that this concealed good refers to the immense reward reserved for the righteous in the World to Come. Wicked individuals, who speak with arrogance and see only the lowly state of the righteous in this life, cannot possibly understand the vast good waiting for them [רש״י, רד״ק, אבן עזרא, מצודת דוד]. Another perspective suggests this hidden good is a divine abundance temporarily held back by the heavenly court, preserved until it is given to those who fear God at the time of redemption. This reserved goodness also includes spiritual merits transferred to the righteous from people who spoke maliciously against them, or from wicked individuals the righteous unsuccessfully tried to help repent [חומת אנך]. The beneficiaries of this hidden reward are those who serve God out of fear, and they are considered completely righteous, exactly like those who serve Him out of love [תורה תמימה].
The focus then shifts from the World to Come back to the present world, moving from the hidden to the revealed. God does not only store up reward for the future; He actively creates new, visible blessings in this world for those who take refuge in Him [רד״ק, אבן עזרא]. This active divine involvement represents a profound level of creation and doing [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The specific nature of this action points to a fundamental and immense reward, one whose greatness surpasses even the creation of the worlds [אלשיך].
This active goodness is performed publicly and in plain sight, ensuring that those who trust in God will not be put to shame before their enemies [רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ, אבן עזרא, מצודת דוד]. Additionally, God grants them this good entirely against the will of the people who rise up against them [מאירי]. This dynamic highlights a unique perspective on the power of trusting in God. Saving someone from another human being is especially complex, as it requires intervening against an attacker's free will. An immense reward is therefore granted to those who trust God to save them even from people who possess free choice. They hold a firm belief that nothing prevents God from delivering them from human hands, much like the unwavering trust Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah showed when relying on God to save them from Nebuchadnezzar [אלשיך].
