Psalms 94:15
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.
Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
