Context of Psalms 94:16

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. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? 17If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
