Psalms 94:17

Protection and safetyHopeDeath and loss

15 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?

Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
