This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
22 But the Lost is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
Psa 94:22
Let the wicked gather as they may, the Psalmist is not afraid, but sweetly sings, “The Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.” Firm as a rock is Jehovah's love, and there do we betake ourselves for shelter. In him, even in him alone, we find safety, let the world rage as it may; we ask not aid from man, but are content to flee into the bosom of omnipotence.
Psa 94:23
The natural result of oppression is the destruction of the despot; his own iniquities crush him ere long. Providence arranges retaliations as remarkable as they are Just. High crimes in the end bring on heavy judgments, to sweep away evil men from off the face of the earth; yea, God himself interposes in a special manner, and cuts short the career of tyrants while they are in the very midst of their crimes. Wicked men are often arrested by the pursuivants of divine justice redhanded, with the evidences of their guilt upon them. “He shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness.” While the stolen bread is in their mouths wrath slays them, while the illgotten wedge of gold is yet in their tent judgment overtakes them. God himself conspicuously visits them, and reveals his own power in their overthrow, “yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.”
Here, then, the matter ends; faith reads the present in the light of the future, and ends her song without a trembling note.
