Psalms 94:14 - Exposition

For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance (comp. Deuteronomy 4:31 ; 1 Samuel 12:22 ; 1 Kings 6:13 ; Isaiah 41:17 ). However long God's chastisements continue (see Psalms 94:3 ), the faithful may be sure that God has not forsaken, and never will forsake, them, since "he forsaketh not his saints, but they are preserved forever" ( Psalms 37:28 ). The promise is made equally to the faithful individuals ("his saints") and to faithful Churches ("his people," "his inheritance").
