Context of Psalms 94:19
17Unless Adonai had been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. 18If I say: “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, Adonai, will hold me up. When my troubling thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations comfort my soul. 20Can a throne of corruption be aligned with You—planning distress by decree? 21They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
