Role in This Section

Psalm 94:12: The Torah wording “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest…” advances the instruction or prayer titled “How long until the judge confronts oppression?: The creator who hears also instructs.”

Read It With

  • Psalms 94:1–23
  • Psalms 94:8–15

Read Psalm 94:12 with 94:8–15 and the whole of Psalm 94. Psalm 94:12 advances Torah-shaped attention through “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of…” within the full instruction or prayer. The communal-lament-imprecation form, parallel lines, voice, and Book IV placement keep the selected line from becoming a contextless slogan.

Why It Needs Context

The line “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him…” is a premise, image, address, response, or transition inside Psalms 94:8–15; its parallel neighbors and the movement titled “How long until the judge confronts oppression?: The creator who hears also instructs” must supply the claim before teaching or application.
