Contextual Overview

¹² Joyful are those you discipline, Lord , those you teach with your instructions. ¹³ You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked. ¹⁴ The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession. ¹⁵ Judgment will again be founded on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it. ¹⁶ Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers? ¹⁷ Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. ¹⁸ I cried out, "I am slipping!" but your unfailing love, O Lord , supported me. ¹⁹ When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. ²⁰ Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice? ²¹ They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Lord will not cast off his people,.... The people whom he has foreknown, his chosen people, whether among Jews or Gentiles, Romans 11:1, his covenant people, whom he has given to Christ, and who are redeemed by his blood, and called by his Spirit and grace: these, though he may not arise immediately for their help; though he may withdraw his presence from them for a time, may afflict them, and suffer them to be afflicted by others, Psalms 94:5, he will not cast them off, at least for ever, so as to be removed out of his sight, or off of his heart, or from his covenant, or out of the hands of his Son, or from being a part of his family, or so as to perish eternally; they are a people near and dear unto him; he takes pleasure in them, and will not eternally reject them; whoever casts them off, he will not:

neither will he forsake his inheritance; which he has chosen, and values and esteems as a goodly one; he will not give up his title to it, nor drop his claim upon it, nor relinquish his hold and use of it; he will not forsake his people for this reason, because they are his inheritance, as well as because he has promised that he will not: he may seem to forsake them, and they may think they are forsaken by him; but he will not forsake neither their persons in youth nor in old age, nor his work upon their hearts: the church, in the wilderness, and under the persecution of antichrist, might seem to be cast off and forsaken; yet is not, being nourished there for a time and times, and half a time, Revelation 12:14, the note of Arama is,

"at the coming of the Messiah all this good shall be.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the Lord will not cast off his people ... - He will interpose in their behalf though the wicked seem now to triumph. The certainty of this would give consolation; this would make the mind calm in the days of trouble. Compare 1 Samuel 12:22; 1 Kings 6:13; Deuteronomy 31:6. See the notes at Romans 11:1-2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:14. The Lord will not cast off his people — Though they are now suffering under a grievous and oppressive captivity, yet the Lord hath not utterly cast them off. They are his inheritance, and he will again restore them to their own land.
