Context of Psalms 94:13

11The Lord knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath. 12Blessed is the man whom You discipline, Lord, And whom You teach from Your Law, So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked. 14For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance. 15For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
