Context of Psalms 94:5
3How long shall the wicked, O Lord, How long shall the wicked exult? 4They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. They crush Your people, O Lord, And afflict Your heritage. 6They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. 7They have said, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”
