Context of Psalms 94:14
12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law; 13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked. For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance. 15For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it. 16Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
