When he giveth quietness Either to the poor and oppressed persons last mentioned, or to any other persons or people, as it follows; who then can make trouble? No man or creature can hinder God's design; and when he hideth his face Withdraws his favour and help from them, and thereby exposes them to oppressions and calamities; who then can behold him? Who can enjoy the light of his countenance, or look up to him with cheerfulness and confidence, to desire or expect his help? whether it be done against a nation or a man only God can carry on his work, either of mercy or justice, as easily and as irresistibly upon a whole nation as upon one particular person. That the hypocrite reign not May not continue his tyranny; lest the people be insnared Lest the people should be longer kept in the snares of oppression; God doth this to free poor oppressed people from the snares which ungodly men lay for them.
