Context of Psalms 94:15
13to give him rest from days of trouble —until a pit is dug for the wicked. 14For Adonai will not forsake His people. He will never abandon His inheritance. For rightness will be restored to justice, and all the upright in heart will follow it. 16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers? 17Unless Adonai had been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
