psalm 94: A good person who is against evil doers.

On 2006, 15th of May, Sao Paulo had a lockdown. Everyone (millions) returned home earlier (causing a huge traffic jam) and after that, all streets were desert because a criminal organization (PCC) determined so.

Normal citzens were subjected to evildoers.

In Psalm 94:

3-4 God, the wicked get away with murder—

    how long will you let this go on?

They brag and boast

    and crow about their crimes!

5-7 They walk all over your people, God,

    exploit and abuse your precious people.

They take out anyone who gets in their way;

    if they can’t use them, they kill them.

They think, “God isn’t looking,

    Jacob’s God is out to lunch.”

The psalmist has courage and confronts them:

8-11 Well, think again, you idiots,

    fools—how long before you get smart?

Do you think Ear-Maker doesn’t hear,

    Eye-Shaper doesn’t see?

Do you think the trainer of nations doesn’t correct,

    the teacher of Adam doesn’t know?

God knows, all right—

    knows your stupidity,

    sees your shallowness.

However, the psalmist knows that he may become a target of evildoers. He asks:

16-19 Who stood up for me against the wicked?

    Who took my side against evil workers?

If God hadn’t been there for me,

    I never would have made it.

The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,”

    your love, God, took hold and held me fast.

When I was upset and beside myself,

    you calmed me down and cheered me up.

In general, it seems that good people are coward, but the psalmist is brave because he trusts in the Lord.
