Context of Psalms 94:14
12Joyful are those you discipline, Lord, those you teach with your instructions. 13You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked. The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession. 15Judgment will again be founded on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it. 16Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
