Psalms 94:1-7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It is always a mark of grace when the Lord's afflicted ones can commit their cause, be it what it may, into the hands of God. But though a believing soul can, and will refer all into the divine wisdom and justice, yet it is profitable to draw nigh to the Lord with our complaints, and to leave them there. It is one thing to complain of God, and another to complain to God. The Lord hath commanded his troubled ones to draw nigh unto him. Call upon me in the time of trouble, and I will hear thee. And again, the Lord saith, For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord. Psalms 12:5.

Psalms 94:1-7

1 O LORD God,a to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
