15 For 1judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will 2stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me 3against those who do wickedness?
17 If 4the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18 If I should say, "5My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your 6consolations delight my soul.
20 Can a 7throne of destruction be allied with You, One 8which devises mischief by decree?
21 They 9band themselves together against the life of the righteous And 10condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the LORD has been my 11stronghold, And my God the 12rock of my refuge.
23 He has 13brought back their wickedness upon them And will 14destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.

Psalm 94:15-23 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 94

Some, as Jarchi and others, think this psalm was written by Moses; others, with greater probability, assign it to David; as do the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; and which all but the Syriac version say it was composed to be sung on the fourth day of the week, on which day the Talmudists say it was sung; see the argument of the preceding psalm. This psalm and others, that go before and follow, are without any title in the Hebrew Bible: the title of it in the Syriac version is,

``a Psalm of David, concerning the company of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; but spiritually, concerning the persecution against the church;''

not of the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt, as some; nor of the Jews in their present exile, as Kimchi; but rather of the people of God under the tyranny of antichrist; who are represented as complaining of his insults and cruelty, and as comforting themselves in the hopes of deliverance, and in the view of his destruction.
