Psalms 94:23
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
