  1. Psalm 94:8 The wicked are senseless like animals (see Ps 92:7), fools (see Ps 49:11) without understanding. The Lord not only hears and sees and knows everything that takes place on earth but also metes out punishment for all wicked deeds.
  2. Psalm 94:8 This verse recalls Deut 32:6; Prov 1:22; 8:5.
  3. Psalm 94:9 See Ex 4:11; Prov 20:12; Lam 3:36.
  4. Psalm 94:10 Guides the nations: through chastisement (see Lev 26:18; Jer 31:18). Instructs people: about the natural and the supernatural order (see Deut 20:1-17; Isa 28:26).
