Context of Psalms 94:19
17Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have become silent in death. 18When I think, ‘I am falling down,’ your faithful love keeps me safe, Lord. When I have troubles in my mind, so that I am afraid, you help me to be happy again. 20You will not become a friend of cruel rulers. They make laws that only hurt people. 21They join together to work against good people. They say that people are guilty who have done nothing wrong. They say that they must die.
