Psalm 94:23

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 94:23

Psalms 94:23. Bring upon them— Or, Render them. REFLECTIONS.—1st, There is an Almighty Judge to whom the oppressed may appeal, and who will vindicate their cause. The Psalmist lodges his appeal with God against his adversaries. O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth, who hath the power to avenge the oppressed, and whose holiness engages him to exert it, shew thyself, or shine forth, appear in behalf of thy suffering people, and confound with the light of truth the works of darkness. Lift up... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 94:20-23

The power of the wicked could not endure because God’s power will prevail-even though His enemies made alliances with other evil men to oppress the innocent. The psalm closes with a reaffirmation of the writer’s commitment to Yahweh. He would trust in the Lord until God executed vengeance on the wicked.This psalm is a good example of not taking vengeance but waiting for God to take it in His own time and way (Deuteronomy 32:35; 1 Samuel 24-26; Romans 12:19; et al.). The writer committed the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:1-23

This is a national Ps., written at a time when Israel was oppressed by foreign enemies. It may be connected either with the days of the exile or with some later period of national distress. The opening vv. appeal to God to show Himself as judge of the earth (Psalms 94:1-2). The misdeeds of the oppressors are next described (Psalms 94:3-7), and a rebuke is addressed to certain Israelites who were tempted to give up their faith in God (Psalms 94:8-11). The next vv. speak of the blessings of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 94:1-23

Psalms 94:9-10 These verses assert that in due time God will act, for He cannot be otherwise than a God of knowledge, deep in whose heart counsels of inviolable righteousness lie hidden. He is always cognisant of what goes on in the world, and especially heedful of the cries and supplications of His own people. These acts of oppression, done to the fatherless and the widow, do not elude His notice. Drop by drop He counts the innocent blood that falls upon the green world He has made and bends... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23

Psalms 94:1-23THE theme of God the Judge is closely allied to that of God the King, as other psalms of this group show, in which His coming to judge the world is the subject of rapturous praise. This psalm hymns Jehovah’s retributive sway, for which it passionately cries, and in which it confidently trusts. Israel is oppressed by insolent rulers, who have poisoned the fountains of justice, condemning the innocent, enacting unrighteous laws, and making a prey of all the helpless. These "judges... read more
