Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?... - This is the language of the psalmist. It is what he had said in the circumstances referred to in the first part of the psalm, when the wicked seemed to triumph; when they had come in upon the land, and laid waste the heritage of God, Psalms 94:3-6. At that time, full of anxiety and trouble, and deeply impressed with a sense of danger, he had anxiously looked around for help, and had asked with deep concern who would stand up for him and defend him. The following verses Psalms 94:17-18 show what was then his reliance, and in what way confidence in God had kept him from falling into despair. return to 'Top of Page'
