Psalms 94:15 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But. — Better, For; literally, for to righteousness judgment shall turn, and after it all upright in heart — i.e., there shall no longer be the seeming contradiction in things. God’s righteousness will triumph over the injustice under which Israel groans; His ways will be vindicated, so that all the upright in heart will acknowledge that “there is a reward for the righteous, a God who judges in the earth” (Psalms 58:11). Luther’s fine paraphrase, “For Right must, whatever happens, remain Right,” expresses the feeling; but, better still, the question, “Shall not the Lord of all the earth do right?” The phrase, “shall after it,” is a common one for expressing attachment and adherence to a party or cause (Exodus 23:2; 2 Samuel 2:10; Psalms 49:13), and specially of adherence to Jehovah (1 Samuel 12:14; 1 Kings 14:8).
