Psalms, Chapter 94
The danger and folly of persecuting the children of God, ver. 1 - 11. Assurance given to the persecuted, that God will deliver them, ver. 12 - 23.

4: Utter - Or pour forth freely, constantly, abundantly, as a fountain doth waters (so this Hebrew word signifies.) Hard things - Insolent, and intolerable words against thee and thy people.

7: Of Jacob - He who takes that name to himself, but has no regard to his people.

9: Planted - The word is emphatical, signifying the excellent structure of the ear, or the several organs belonging to the sense of hearing. Formed - By which word he intimates the accurate and curious workmanship of the eye.

10: Know - Mens thoughts and words and actions.

11: Thoughts - Yes, he knoweth all things, even the most secret things, as the thoughts of men; and in particular your thoughts; much more your practices.

12: Blessed - Those afflictions which are accompanied with Divine instructions are great and true blessings.

15: But - God will declare himself to be a righteous judge, and will again establish justice in the earth. Follow - They will all approve of it, and imitate this justice of God in all their actions.

16: Rise - To defend and help me. I looked hither and thither, but none appeared; God alone helped me.

17: Dwelt - In the place of silence, the grave.

19: Thoughts - While my heart was filled with various and perplexing thoughts, as this Hebrew word signifies. Comforts - Thy promises, and the remembrance of my former experience of thy care and kindness.

20: Shall - Wilt thou take part with the unrighteous powers of the world who oppress thy people. A law - By virtue of those unrighteous decrees which they have made.
