Context of Psalms 94:12
10He teaches the nations what is right. Will he not punish you, when you do what is wrong? He teaches people what they should know. 11The Lord knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts are empty. Lord, when you teach people what is right, you have really blessed them. You use your Law to teach them. 13When those people have troubles, you keep them safe. Then the wicked people fall into a deep hole that you have dug to catch them. 14The Lord will not leave his people alone. He will not forget to help the people that belong to him.

Commentaries on Psalms 94:12
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest - תיסרנו teyasserennu, whom thou instructest; and teachest him out of thy law.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord - “Happy the man;” or “Oh the blessedness of the man.” See the notes at Psalm 1:1.
