• God does judge evil, but He begins at His own house. God's hand is in the dealings which make His people suffer, as well as man's. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101” by J.N. Darby)

• God with the chastening teaches out of the law. God, by all this process of evil having the upper hand, breaks the will, teaches dependence, separates not only the heart but the spirit from the world where this evil reigns. How could there be union with a world in which this power of evil is seen and morally shrunk from? (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101” by J.N. Darby)

• There is, with the discipline of His hand, direct inward teaching by His word, which reveals Himself. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 94-101” by J.N. Darby)

• The godly soul learns, in the hour of trial, that, as ever, God uses the time of trial for the blessing of His people. Thus he can say, “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD.” (“Psalm 94” by H. Smith)

• “Thou chastenest” is the admission that behind the hand of those who trouble God’s people there is the hand of God dealing with His people. “Thou teachest” is the acknowledgment that through chastening God teaches His people, not only what is in their hearts but the grace, the goodness, and the holiness of His own heart, so that distrusting themselves they may rest in God. (“Psalm 94” by H. Smith)
