God is a God of justice. God expects his people to be people of justice. In this community lament the psalmist cries out to God for the way the rich and powerful are treating the powerless in the community.

The call is for God to exact his righteous judgment against oppression of the weak.Psalm 94 – A Community Lament over Injustice
