• As they wait they realize that when the Lord does come to establish His Kingdom in righteousness “the throne of iniquity” (the reign of Antichrist) cannot go on with it. Hence having raised the question, “How long will the wicked triumph?” (vs. 3), they are confident that the whole order of things under Antichrist cannot continue very long (Job 20:5). The Lord will cut off the wicked in judgment (vs. 20-23). (“Book 4.” by B. Anstey)

• The godly soul realizes that it is impossible that there can be any fellowship between the throne of iniquity and a holy God. (“Psalms 94” by H. Smith)
