Contextual Overview

1 The Lord is a God who punishes. God, show your greatness and punish! 2 Rise up, Judge of the earth, and give the proud what they deserve. 3 How long will the wicked be happy? How long, Lord ? 4 They are full of proud words; those who do evil brag about what they have done. 5 Lord , they crush your people and make your children suffer. 6 They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans. 7 They say, "The Lord doesn't see; the God of Jacob doesn't notice." 8 You stupid ones among the people, pay attention. You fools, when will you understand? 9 Can't the creator of ears hear? Can't the maker of eyes see? 10 Won't the one who corrects nations punish you? Doesn't the teacher of people know everything?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They break in pieces thy people, O Lord,.... Not the Israelites, as Kimchi; but the church of Christ, by their anathemas, cruel edicts, and persecutions; by confiscating their goods, imprisoning their persons, putting them to cruel deaths; and by such means think to "wear out" the saints of the most High, the Lord's covenant and peculiar people; which is mentioned as an aggravation of their sin, and as an argument with the Lord to arise on their behalf:

and afflict thine heritage; the church, styled God's heritage, 1 Peter 5:3, whom the Lord has chosen for his inheritance; and are dear to him, as his portion, his jewels, and even as the apple of his eye; and yet these are afflicted all manner of ways by their persecuting enemies, as Israel was of old in Egypt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They break in pieces thy people - They tread down; they grind; they crush. The Hebrew word is often used as meaning to crush under foot; to trample on; and hence, it means to oppress. Lamentations 3:34; Isaiah 3:15.

And afflict - To wit, by oppression and wrong. If this refers to foreigners, it means that they did this by invasion and by the ravages of war.

Thine heritage - Thy people, regarded as an inheritance or possession. See Psalms 28:9, note; Psalms 33:12, note; Psalms 68:9, note; Psalms 74:2, note; Isaiah 19:25, note; Isaiah 47:6, note; 1 Peter 5:3, note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:5. They break in pieces thy people — This was true of the Babylonians. Nehuchadnezzar slew many; carried the rest into captivity; ruined Jerusalem; overturned the temple; sacked, pillaged, and destroyed all the country.
