94:8-11 The psalmist scolded the wicked for their stupidity. God who created the eye and ear surely can see and hear Himself. He knows what the wicked are doing and saying. If He disciplines nations He will surely discipline individuals. If He teaches wisdom certainly He is wise Himself. He knows the vapid thoughts of those who oppose Him, and He will judge them.
94:12-15 Oppression from the wicked is discipline that God permits for His people. Because of this the writer saw it had value. However he also believed God would relieve the godly and not forsake His faithful ones. Eventually God will execute justice and this will encourage people to follow the path of righteousness.
