Psalm 94:22

But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
