Psalm 94
-Theme: God will
protect His people from the severe punishment that is coming upon the wicked.
Evil will not prevail in the end. God’s discipline is just and beneficial.
-Historical Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm set to
music.
-*Application* Have you ever cried out for God’s retribution
in an unjust situation? God does hear and see (Psalm 94:9). The arrogant,
puffed-up, wicked, and violent ones God will judge with benevolent wrath. His
vengeance shines forth (Psalm 94:1). Blessed is the man whom is disciplined by
the LORD. This man will be granted relief from the days of adversity when, on
the other hand, the wicked will pay for their crimes. God will never abandon
His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance. His judgment will be
righteous, and “all the upright in heart will follow it (Psalm 94:12-16).”
Without His help we believers are doomed, but with His strength we prevail. His
consolation is a delight to our soul when anxious thoughts start to multiply
within us (Psalm 94:19). He alone is our stronghold and refuge, and He will
destroy the destroyer (Psalm 94:22-23).
