Ps 94:1
94:1 O LORD God, to whom {a} vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
     vengeance belongeth, {b} shew thyself.

     (a) Whose office it is to take vengeance on the wicked.
     (b) Show by effect that you are judge of the world to
         punish the wicked.

Ps 94:3
94:3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
     {c} triumph?

     (c) That is, brag of their cruelty and oppression, or
         esteem themselves above all others.

Ps 94:5
94:5 They {d} break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict
     thine heritage.

     (d) Seeing the Church was then so sore oppressed, it ought
         not to seem strange to us, if we see it so now, and
         therefore we must call to God, to take our cause in
         hand.

Ps 94:7
94:7 {e} Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the
     God of Jacob regard [it].

     (e) He shows that they are desperate in malice, as they did
         not fear God, but gave themselves wholly to do
         wickedly.

Ps 94:9
94:9 He that {f} planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that
     formed the eye, shall he not see?

     (f) He shows that it is impossible, but God should hear,
         see, and understand their wickedness.

Ps 94:10
94:10 He that chastiseth the {g} heathen, shall not he correct?
      he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

      (g) If God punishes whole nations for their sins, it is
          mere folly for any one man or else a few to think that
          God will spare them.

Ps 94:12
94:12 Blessed [is] the man whom thou {h} chastenest, O LORD, and
      teachest him out of thy law;

      (h) God has care over his, and chastised them for their
          own good, that they should not perish for ever with
          the wicked.

Ps 94:15
94:15 But {i} judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all
      the upright in heart shall follow it.

      (i) God will restore the state and government of things to
          their right use, and then the godly will follow him
          cheerfully.

Ps 94:17
94:17 Unless the LORD [had been] my {k} help, my soul had almost
      dwelt in silence.

      (k) He complains of them who would not help him to resist
          the enemies, yet was assured that God's help would not
          fail.

Ps 94:18
94:18 When I said, {l} My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held
      me up.

      (l) When I thought there was no way but death.

Ps 94:19
94:19 In the multitude of my {m} thoughts within me thy comforts
      delight my soul.

      (m) In my trouble and distress I always found your present
          help.

Ps 94:20
94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have {n} fellowship with
      thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

      (n) Though the wicked judges pretend justice in oppressing
          the Church, yet they do not have the authority of God.

Ps 94:23
94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall
      {o} cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD
      our God shall cut them off.

      (o) It is a great token of God's judgment when the purpose
          of the wicked is broken, but most, when they are
          destroyed in their own malice.
