Context of Psalms 94:19
17Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. 18When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. 20Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees? 21The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
