Psalms 26:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 26:10

In whose hands [is] mischief
Every abominable wickedness; as idolatry, adultery, murder the word signifies and is sometimes used for mischief conceived in the mind, artificially devised and contrived there; here mischief committed, the hand being the instrument of action, and intends whatever is prejudicial to the person, character, and properties of men;

and their right hand is full of bribes;
whereby the eyes of judges are blinded, the words of the righteous perverted, men's persons respected, and judgment wrested, ( Deuteronomy 16:19 ) .

Psalms 26:10 In-Context

8 O LORD, I love the house where You dwell, the place where Your glory resides.

9 Do not take my soul away with sinners, or my life with men of bloodshed,

10 in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.

11 But I will walk with integrity; redeem me and be merciful to me.

12 My feet stand on level ground; in the congregations I will bless the LORD.
