Context of Psalms 94:14
12How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O Lord, the one whom you teach from your law, 13in order to protect him from times of trouble, until the wicked are destroyed. Certainly the Lord does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him. 15For justice will prevail, and all the morally upright will be vindicated. 16Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
