Psalm 94 (résumé): O Lord, the God who avenges

Psalm 94 is a prayer for God's justice to be put into effect against arrogant corrupt enemies. Evildoers, says the psalmist, crush the people, kill widows, foreigners and orphans, but of course God sees and hears everything. For God will never forsake his people and judgement will be founded upon righteousness. When my foot was slipping your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Corrupt rulers band together against the righteous but the Lord is my rock and fortress. He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness.
