Psalms 94:13

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity -- i:e., That thou mayest give him rest of mind, so as to be free from fear in the days of adversity. The promises in God's "law" () remove all distress, murmuring and despondency from the godly in times when the cause of the ungodly seems to triumph (; , note: ; ).

Until the pit be dug for the wicked. The phrase, "the wicked" here explains who are "the pagan" meant in . The godly can well afford to be tranquil and patient until the day of righteous retributions. is exactly parallel, 'The law of God in the heart' of the godly man, keeping him from slipping, so that he "waits on the Lord" until the day of recompenses, when the present depression of the godly and elevation of the ungodly shall be forever reversed (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:4); where "rest" refers to the consummation of the "rest" spoken of here-the mental and partial rest of the godly here being hereafter about to be perfected in complete rest alike outward and inward.
