Psalm 94:6-8
Amplified Bible

6 
[a]They kill the widow and the alien
And murder the fatherless.
7 
Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob (Israel) notice it.”

8 
Consider thoughtfully, you senseless (stupid ones) among the people;
And you [dull-minded] fools, when will you become wise and understand?

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 94:6 Widows, resident aliens, and the fatherless were particularly vulnerable members of ancient society, since they often had little or no economic means. The wicked could easily take advantage of them. God in several Old Testament passages commanded Israel to care especially for these helpless members of society. See, for example, Deut 24:17-22; Ps 146:9; Is 1:17; Zech 7:9, 10.
