Salmos 94:16-23

16 ¿Quién se levantará por mí contra los malignos? ¿Quién estará por mí contra los que obran iniquidad?
17 Si no me ayudara Jehová, Presto morara mi alma en el silencio.
18 Cuando yo decía: Mi pie resbala: Tu misericordia, oh Jehová, me sustentaba.
19 En la multitud de mis pensamientos dentro de mí, Tus consolaciones alegraban mi alma.
20 ¿Juntaráse contigo el trono de iniquidades, Que forma agravio en el mandamiento?
21 Pónense en corros contra la vida del justo, Y condenan la sangre inocente.
22 Mas Jehová me ha sido por refugio; Y mi Dios por roca de mi confianza.
23 Y él hará tornar sobre ellos su iniquidad, Y los destruirá por su propia maldad; Los talará Jehová nuestro Dios.

Salmos 94:16-23 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.
