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
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-119-11. The evidence of God's providential government is found in His creative power and omniscience, which also assure us that He can punish the wicked in regard to all their vain purposes.Read the comment
