Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 94:7

"And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider." — Psalms 94:7 (ASV)

The Lord. —In the original, “Jah.” This carelessness of heaven to injustice and crime, which, coming from the mouths of pagans (or perhaps apostate Jews), appeared so monstrous to the Hebrews, was a doctrine of the philosophy of ancient times.

This idea appears, for instance, in the saying of Seneca: “ Stoicus deus nec cor nec caput habet.” Similarly, in the Homeric hymn to Demeter, people are represented as only enduring the gifts of the gods because the gods are stronger and give only grudgingly .

This sentiment has been well captured in Tennyson’s Lotus Eaters:

“Let us swear an oath, and keep it with an equal mind,
In the hollow Lotus-land to live and lie reclined,
On the hills like gods together, careless of mankind.”
