Context of Psalms 94:19
17Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. 18I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. 20Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice? 21They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
