Salmi 94:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 94:7

Yet they say, the Lord shall not see
The blood they shed, the murders they commit, the mischief they do, the wickedness they are guilty of, so flattering themselves with impunity; such atheism reigns at Rome, but God sees all their abominations, and he will let them know one day that he does behold them; see ( Psalms 10:10 Psalms 10:14 ) ,

neither shall the God of Jacob regard it;
the same as before; this title of "the God of Jacob" may be considered either as put in by the psalmist, as an argument strengthening the faith of the church of God; that being their covenant God, he would take notice and care of them, and resent the injuries done them, and avenge them: or else as mentioned by their enemies, sneering at their confidence in God, whom they called their covenant God; that notwithstanding he would not regard or take any notice of what was done unto them, so as to appear in their behalf; all this has been said, if not openly with the mouth, yet secretly in the heart; the language of their actions has abundantly declared this gross atheism of antichrist, and his abettors, who are addressed as follows.

Salmi 94:7 In-Context

5 Schiacciano il tuo popolo, o Eterno, e affliggono la tua eredità.
6 Uccidono la vedova e lo straniero, ammazzano gli orfani,
7 e dicono: L’Eterno non vede, l’Iddio di Giacobbe non ci fa attenzione.
8 Abbiate intendimento, voi gli stolti fra il popolo! E voi, pazzi, quando sarete savi?
9 Colui che ha piantato l’orecchio non udirà egli? Colui che ha formato l’occhio non vedrà egli?
