Salmos 94:11-21

11 El SEÑOR conoce los pensamientos del hombre, sabe que son sólo un soplo.

12 Bienaventurado el hombre a quien corriges, SEÑOR, y lo instruyes en tu ley;

13 para darle descanso en los días de aflicción, hasta que se cave una fosa para el impío.

14 Porque el SEÑOR no abandonará a su pueblo, ni desamparará a su heredad.

15 Porque el juicio volverá a ser justo, y todos los rectos de corazón lo seguirán.

16 ¿Quién se levantará por mí contra los malhechores? ¿Quién me defenderá de los que hacen iniquidad?

17 Si el SEÑOR no hubiera sido mi socorro, pronto habría habitado mi alma en el lugar del silencio.

18 Si digo: Mi pie ha resbalado, tu misericordia, oh SEÑOR, me sostendrá.

19 Cuando mis inquietudes se multiplican dentro de mí, tus consuelos deleitan mi alma.

20 ¿Puede ser aliado tuyo un trono de destrucción, que planea el mal por decreto?

21 Se unen contra la vida del justo, y condenan a muerte al inocente.

Salmos 94:11-21 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.
