Context of Psalms 94:14
12O Lord, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings. 13You give him peace and quiet from times of trouble while a pit is dug to trap wicked people. The Lord will never desert his people or abandon those who belong to him. 15The decisions of judges will again become fair, and everyone whose motives are decent will pursue justice. 16Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will stand by my side against troublemakers?
