Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Even though you say you can't see God, justice is still in his hands; so put your trust in him.
This verse reminds us that even when God seems distant or invisible, he is still in control of justice, so we should continue to trust him.
