Context of Psalms 94:10
8Consider thoughtfully, you senseless (stupid ones) among the people; And you [dull-minded] fools, when will you become wise and understand? 9He who made the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who instructs the nations, Does He not rebuke and punish, He who teaches man knowledge? 11The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath (vain, empty, futile). 12Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, And whom You teach from Your law,

Commentaries on Psalms 94:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? - You, who are heathens, and heathens of the most abandoned kind. He that teacheth man knowledge - We here supply shall not he know? But this is not acknowledged by the original, nor by any of the Versions. Indeed it is not necessary; for either the words contain a simple proposition, "It is he who teacheth man knowledge," or this clause should be read in connection with Psalm 94:11; : "Jehovah, who…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10He that chastiseth the heathen - More literally, “Shall not the Reprover of nations - shall he not chastise - he that teaches man knowledge?” The idea is, that God exercises a government over the nations of the earth; that he has them under his control; that he brings heavy judgments on them; that he thus conveys great lessons to man. And shall not such a Being, in individual cases, reprove and correct for sin? It is assumed here that God, in fact, brings…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10discipline: This word can also mean "admonished" (Psalm 2:10), "discipline" (6:1; 94:12), or "instructs" (16:7). The Lord disciplines his people to improve their character (Proverbs 3:11–12; Hebrews 12:6–11). He punishes his enemies by giving them what they deserve (Psalm 1:6; Romans 6:23).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-119-11. The evidence of God's providential government is found in His creative power and omniscience, which also assure us that He can punish the wicked in regard to all their vain purposes.Read the comment
