Joe: Alright, so what’s the deal with Psalms 94?

Bible Expert: Well, Psalms 94 is a hymn of praise and petition for God’s protection of his chosen people. It begins with a call to praise God for his justice and for his power to save the faithful. The psalmist then goes on to plead for God’s protection from the wicked and for justice to be done.

Joe: That’s interesting. So is this like a “God will protect us from the bad guys” kind of thing?

Bible Expert: Yeah, exactly. The psalmist encourages the people to trust in God, and that He will stand up for the oppressed and punish the wicked. He then goes on to call on God to judge the wicked and to protect the righteous.

Joe: Okay, Jamie, see if you can find out what God’s justice looks like.

Jamie: Uh, sure thing Joe.

Bible Expert: God’s justice is perfect and He will not let the wicked go unpunished. He will redeem the righteous and punish the wicked, and ultimately justice will prevail.

Joe: Okay, that sounds pretty intense. So, is there anything else in this psalm?

Bible Expert: Yes, the psalmist also speaks of God’s mercy and compassion, and asks that He be merciful to those who are suffering. He also calls on God to be a refuge and a stronghold for His people. Finally, the psalmist ends with a call to rejoice and praise the Lord for His deliverance.
