Psalms 94:5

3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?

4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.

They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.

6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

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.
