Salmos 94:12-22

12 Dichoso aquel a quien tú, SEÑOR, corriges;aquel a quien instruyes en tu ley,

13 para que enfrente tranquilo los días de aflicciónmientras al impío se le cava una fosa.

14 El SEÑOR no rechazará a su pueblo;no dejará a su herencia en el abandono.

15 El juicio volverá a basarse en la justicia,y todos los rectos de corazón lo seguirán.

16 ¿Quién se levantó a defenderme de los impíos?¿Quién se puso de mi parte contra los malhechores?

17 Si el SEÑOR no me hubiera brindado su ayuda,muy pronto me habría quedado en mortal silencio.

18 No bien decía: «Mis pies resbalan»,cuando ya tu amor, SEÑOR, venía en mi ayuda.

19 Cuando en mí la angustia iba en aumento,tu consuelo llenaba mi alma de alegría.

20 ¿Podrías ser amigo de reyes corruptos^[a]que por decreto fraguan la maldad,

21 que conspiran contra la gente honraday condenan a muerte al inocente?

22 Pero el SEÑOR es mi protector,es mi Dios y la roca en que me refugio.

Salmos 94:12-22 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.
