Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 94

Psalm 94 addresses the timeless enigma of why the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer. The psalmist cries out to the Judge of the earth, to whom vengeance belongs, asking Him to shine forth and deal with proud oppressors who violently crush the vulnerable, such as widows, strangers, and orphans.

These evildoers act with arrogance because they operate under the foolish delusion that the God of Jacob does not see or regard their actions. In response, the psalmist rebukes their ignorance, using a powerful logical argument: the Creator who planted the ear and expertly formed the eye must undoubtedly possess the ability to hear and see everything. God intimately knows the innermost thoughts of mankind and recognizes their ultimate vanity.

Rather than viewing suffering as a sign of divine abandonment, the psalmist interprets affliction as an instructive tool used by a loving God. Those whom the Lord chastens are considered blessed because this discipline is always paired with teaching from His law. This divine tuition prepares the believer to find quiet rest even during days of severe adversity, trusting that the Lord will never cast off His chosen inheritance.

When internal anxieties multiply and the mind is tossed by distracting cares, the psalmist discovers that God's comforts delight the soul, providing profound peace amidst turbulent thoughts. The psalmist remains confident that God will have no fellowship with corrupt systems or thrones of iniquity that legalize mischief. Ultimately, divine justice will prevail, and the wicked will be caught in their own snares and cut off by their own iniquity, fully vindicating the righteous.
