Context of Psalms 94:5
3How long will the wicked, Adonai, how long will the wicked gloat? 4They gush out, they speak arrogance— all the evildoers keep boasting. They crush Your people, Adonai, and afflict Your heritage. 6They slay the widow and the outsider, and murder the fatherless. 7So they say: “Adonai does not see— the God of Jacob pays no attention.”
