Context of Psalms 94:8
6They kill widows and foreign people who live in our land. They murder children that have no family. 7They say, ‘The Lord does not see us. Israel's God does not see what we are doing.’ Think again, all you fools among the people! Stupid people, become wise! 9God made our ears! Can he himself not hear? He made our eyes! Does he not see? 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.
