Context Summary
Psalm 94:12–15 speaks reassuring words about God's use of discipline and His promise of long-term victory. The Lord's discipline is a sign of His care (Hebrews 12:6); it teaches and guides. Though evil people may oppress (Psalm 94:5–6), God's people look forward to restoration and justice. This sets up the following passage, which praises the Lord for His role as a source of strength (Psalm 94:16–17).

Chapter Summary
This song begins with the psalmist's prayer for God's vengeance on arrogant, evil people bragging about their sin. These criminals abuse the Lord's people and think God is unaware. But the Creator who made man knows everything men can know. God sees. He will continue to work out His plan. This will end in restoration for His people and eternal disaster for those who hate Him.
