13to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 94:13
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,.... Or "evil" (c); or "in the evil days", as the Arabic version; for through teaching men under afflictions, they become tranquil and quiet
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 94:13
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 94:13
For their present and short troubles prepare them for, and lead them to, true rest and blessedness, whilst the seeming felicities of the wicked make way for those tremendous judgments which God hath prepared for them.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 94:13
Psalms 94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.Ver. 13. That thou mayest give him rest] Here usually, but hereafter certainly. Mors aerumnarum requies was Cbaucer’ s motto; Those that die in the Lord shall rest from their labours. Meanwhile they are chastened of the Lord that they may not be condemned with the world, 1 Corinthians 11:32. Until the pit be digged for the wicked] Until the cold grave hold his body, and hot hell hold his soul.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 94:13
(12, 13) Blessed.—A far higher note than one of mere complaint, or even of trust in God, is struck here. The beatitude of suffering could not be made altogether plain in the Old Testament, though in Job the spirit of it is nearly reached. Here the poet sees thus far, that he who is the victim of misfortunes may be congratulated if he may stand aside and calmly watch the course of Divine Providence involving evil men in punishment. What he has himself endured has chastened him, and caused him to be quiet from the evil days—i.e., has calmed him in viewing evil circumstances. It would, however, but for the next clause, be more natural to understand, “shall deliver him from evil days.” Pit.—Comp. Psalms 9:15.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 94:13
Verse 13. That thou mayest give him rest] He whom God instructs is made wise unto salvation; and he who is thus taught has rest in his soul, and peace and confidence in adversity.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 94:13
12–15. The Psalmist consoles himself and his fellow-sufferers with the thought that they are being educated by God, and that, sooner or later, Right must have its rights.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 94:13
That thou mayest give him rest - Mayest make his mind quiet and calm; mayest save him from murmuring, from despondency, from impatience, by just confidence in thee, and in thy government.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 94:13
13. Rest from the days of adversity—Exemption and safety from the fatal calamities which shall overtake the wicked. Until the pit be digged— Whilst the pit shall be digged, etc.
