29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
29
But if he remains silent, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he is over individual and nation alike,
30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

to keep the godless from ruling, from laying snares for the people.
