Context of Psalms 94:19
17If the Lord had not been my helper, I would soon rest in the silence of death. 18If I say, “My foot is slipping,” your faithful love will support me, Lord. When I am filled with cares, your comfort brings me joy. 20Can a corrupt throne be your ally, a throne that makes evil laws? 21They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
