Context of Psalms 94:19
17If the Lord had not been my help, I would soon have dwelt in [the land of] silence. 18If I say, “My foot has slipped,” Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up. When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comforts delight me. 20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]? 21They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
