Psalms 94:15

Compare all

13 That You may give him¹ rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the Lord will not¹ cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

15 But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.

Psalms 94:15

But judgment shall return unto righteousness - If we read yosheb , shalt sit, for yashub , shall return, which is only placing the vau before the shin instead of after it, we have the following sense: Until the just one shall sit in judgment, and after him all the upright in heart. Cyrus has the epithet tsedek , the just one, in different places in the Prophet Isaiah. See Isaiah 41:2, Isaiah 41:10; Isaiah 45:8; Isaiah 51:5. It was Cyrus who gave liberty to the Jews, who appeared as their deliverer and conductor to their own land, and they are all represented as following in his train.
