Psalms 94:1-4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

O God, to whom vengeance belongeth To whom, as the supreme Judge of the world, the patron and protector of the righteous, and the declared enemy of all wickedness and wicked men, and to whom alone it belongs to take revenge on those who oppress thy people when they should protect them; show thyself Make thy justice conspicuous, by speedily avenging thine elect, and rendering a recompense to their enemies. Lift up thyself To punish thy proud enemies. Be exalted in thine own strength, and let those proud men, who have acted as if they thought none could control them, know that they have a superior. How long shall they utter Pour forth freely, constantly, abundantly, as a fountain doth water, (so יביעו, jabbignu, signifies,) and speak hard things Grievous, insolent, and intolerable words against thee and thy people; and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves Of their invincible power, and prosperous success in their wicked designs.
