John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 94:1-23
This is a national Ps., written at a time when Israel was oppressed by foreign enemies. It may be connected either with the days of the exile or with some later period of national distress. The opening vv. appeal to God to show Himself as judge of the earth (Psalms 94:1-2). The misdeeds of the oppressors are next described (Psalms 94:3-7), and a rebuke is addressed to certain Israelites who were tempted to give up their faith in God (Psalms 94:8-11).

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23
Psalms 94:1-23THE theme of God the Judge is closely allied to that of God the King, as other psalms of this group show, in which His coming to judge the world is the subject of rapturous praise. This psalm hymns Jehovah’s retributive sway, for which it passionately cries, and in which it confidently trusts. Israel is oppressed by insolent rulers, who have poisoned the fountains of justice, condemning the innocent, enacting unrighteous laws, and making a prey of all the helpless. These "judges... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 94:1-23
Psalms 94:0 God the judge of allThe psalmist, tired of the oppression caused by the proud and the wicked, calls for a fitting divine punishment on all those who oppose God and his ways (1-3). They brutally crush the poor and the helpless, thinking that God does not see them (4-7). How foolish of them. They forget that God is the one who made them. He knows what they are and what they do. He controls their destinies and will punish them for their wrongdoing (8-11).God does not desert the godly... read more
