Context of Psalms 94:22
20Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law? 21They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge. 23And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
