Context of Psalms 94:13

11Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 14For 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.
