Commentaries on Psalms 94:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? - You, who are heathens, and heathens of the most abandoned kind. He that teacheth man knowledge - We here supply shall not he know? But this is not acknowledged by the original, nor by any of the Versions. Indeed it is not necessary; for either the words contain a simple proposition, "It is he who teacheth man knowledge," or this clause should be read in connection with Psalm 94:11; : "Jehovah, who…Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10discipline: This word can also mean "admonished" (Psalm 2:10), "discipline" (6:1; 94:12), or "instructs" (16:7). The Lord disciplines his people to improve their character (Proverbs 3:11–12; Hebrews 12:6–11). He punishes his enemies by giving them what they deserve (Psalm 1:6; Romans 6:23).Read the comment
