Psalms 94:3

Context

94:3 O Lord, how long will the wicked,

how long will the wicked celebrate? 1 

Psalms 94:20-21

Context

94:20 Cruel rulers 2  are not your allies,

those who make oppressive laws. 3 

94:21 They conspire against 4  the blameless, 5 

and condemn to death the innocent. 6 

1 tn Or “exult.”

2 tn Heb “a throne of destruction.” “Throne” stands here by metonymy for rulers who occupy thrones.

3 tn Heb “Is a throne of destruction united to you, one that forms trouble upon a statute?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course not!” The translation, while not preserving the interrogative form of the statement, reflects its rhetorical force.

4 tn Or “attack.”

5 tn Heb “the life of the blameless.”

6 tn Heb “and the blood of the innocent they declare guilty.”
