Psalms 94:12
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
