Context of Psalms 94:16
14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 15For judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence. 18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
