Context Summary
Psalm 94:16–23 applies the themes of the psalm into an expression of confidence. Evil people bring oppression (Psalm 94:5–6). They assume God cannot see their sins (Psalm 94:9–10). But the Lord disciplines and plans good for those whom He loves (Psalm 94:12–13). The psalmist reassures himself that God does not favor those who do evil. Rather than despair, or revenge, the psalmist can rest assured that the Lord will punish those who do evil.

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.
