1 O LORD H3068 God, H410 to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth; O God, H410 to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth, shew H3313 thyself.
2 Lift up H5375 thyself, thou judge H8199 of the earth: H776 render H7725 a reward H1576 to the proud. H1343
3 LORD, H3068 how long shall the wicked, H7563 how long shall the wicked H7563 triumph? H5937
4 How long shall they utter H5042 and speak H1696 hard things? H6277 and all the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 boast H559 themselves?
5 They break in pieces H1792 thy people, H5971 O LORD, H3068 and afflict H6031 thine heritage. H5159
6 They slay H2026 the widow H490 and the stranger, H1616 and murder H7523 the fatherless. H3490
7 Yet they say, H559 The LORD H3050 shall not see, H7200 neither shall the God H430 of Jacob H3290 regard H995 it.

Psa 94:12-23
The psalmist, having denounced tribulation to those that trouble God's people, here assures those that are troubled of rest. See 2 Th. 1:6, 7. He speaks comfort to suffering saints from God's promises and his own experience.
