The Key Word — שָׁקַט, le.hash.Kitgenerated
The verb שָׁקַט (shaqat) means to be quiet or undisturbed, indicating a state of peace or calm. It is derived from a root that conveys tranquility, and in this verse, it expresses the desire for peaceful relief from distress.
The Hiphil form indicates causing quietness, suggesting that the psalmist is asking God to actively provide this peace. This word captures the essence of finding calm amidst turmoil, much like the stillness after a storm.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses trouble, which aligns with the KJV and ASV, while the YLT and WEB also reflect this meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is הַשְׁקִ֣יט, grant relief, which governs the entire structure. The verse contains a prepositional phrase indicating the recipient of relief, followed by a time phrase that sets the duration of the request, and concludes with a clause describing the action that will occur for the wicked.
The construction emphasizes the request for peace until a specific action — the digging of a pit — takes place, highlighting the expectation of divine justice.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁקַט as πραῦναι (praunai), which conveys a sense of calming or quieting. This choice reflects a similar desire for peace, but may also suggest a more passive state compared to the active request in the Hebrew.
The Greek word for רָע is πονηρῶν (ponērōn), which emphasizes moral evil, aligning with the understanding of the wicked as those who commit wrongdoing.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalms 94:13 asks God to provide peace during times of trouble until justice is served to the wicked. The psalmist expresses a need for relief from adversity, trusting that God will not abandon His people, as seen in the following verses.

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.”…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

The word translates different Hebrew words of which the most important are:
(1) bor, "pit" or "cistern," made by digging, (Ge 37:20); hence, "dungeon" (Jer 38:6, margin "pit");
(2) be'er, "pit" or "well" made by digging (Ge 21:25);

Pit
A hole in the ground (Ex. 21:33, 34), a cistern for water (Gen. 37:24; Jer. 14:3), a vault (41:9), a grave (Ps. 30:3). It is used as a figure for mischief (Ps. 9:15), and is the name given to the unseen place of woe (Rev. 20:1, 3). The slime-pits in the vale of Siddim were wells which yielded asphalt (Gen. 14:10).
[HELL]
A reservoir, either natural or artificial, for water. Pits were sometimes used as dungeons, Ge 37:20; Jer 38:6; or being slightly covered, and baited, they served as traps to catch wild beasts, a device which illustrates the plots of designing men and women, Ps 119:85; Pr 22:14; 26:27; Eze 19:4. The word pit is also used to denote the grave, Ps 28:1; 30:3,9; and hell, Re 20:1.
