Contextual Overview

12 Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe. 13 That thou mayest geue hym patience in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be digged vp for the vngodly. 14 For God wyll not reiect his people: neither wil he forsake his inheritaunce. 15 For iudgement shalbe reduced vnto iustice: and after it shall all such as be vpryght of heart [be iudged.] 16 Who will ryse vp with me agaynst the malicious? or who wyll take my part agaynst workers of wickednesse? 17 If God had not ben an ayde vnto me: it had not fayled much but my soule had dwelled in silence. 18 But when I sayde my foote hath slypped: thy mercy O God helde me vp. 19 In the multitude of my cogitations from the bottome of my heart: thy comfortes dyd recreate my soule. 20 Shall the seate of wickednesse haue any thyng to do with thee: which [seate] maketh wrong to be enacted for a law? 21 They flocke together agaynst the soule of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent blood.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?.... These are the words of the psalmist, representing the church of God, under sore persecutions from the antichristian party; called "evildoers", because of their thefts, murders, idolatries, sorceries, and all manner of wickedness committed by them, Revelation 9:21, intimating that she had looked all around her, and could not observe any that she could hope for assistance from, to fight her battles for her with the enemy, and deliver her out of his hands: the Targum is,

"who will rise up, for me, to make war with the evildoers?''

what the church here seems to say in a despairing way, the followers of antichrist say in a triumphant and insulting manner; "who is like unto the beast who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4, or "who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?" to contend or strive with them, as the Targum; suggesting, that she had no friends to appear for her, that had either courage or strength to engage in such a warfare; her case was like that of the oppressed, Solomon speaks of, Ecclesiastes 4:1, or the Apostle Paul's, when none stood with him; but all forsook him, excepting the Lord, 2 Timothy 4:16 and so here the church had none to rise up, and stand by her, but the Lord; Michael, the great Prince that stands for the children and people of God, and who is a match for all the enemies of his church; and he will rise and stand up for them, and fight their battles; and overcome the beast and false prophet, with the kings of the earth, Daniel 12:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?... - This is the language of the psalmist. It is what he had said in the circumstances referred to in the first part of the psalm, when the wicked seemed to triumph; when they had come in upon the land, and laid waste the heritage of God, Psalms 94:3-6. At that time, full of anxiety and trouble, and deeply impressed with a sense of danger, he had anxiously looked around for help, and had asked with deep concern who would stand up for him and defend him. The following verses Psalms 94:17-18 show what was then his reliance, and in what way confidence in God had kept him from falling into despair.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:16. Who will rise up for me — Who is he that shall be the deliverer of thy people? Who will come to our assistance against these wicked Babylonians?
