Context of Psalms 94:8
6They kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. 7They have said, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.” Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones? 9He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see? 10He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge?
