Psalms 94:20 - Exposition

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee? The interrogative is here, as so often, an emphatic negative. By "the throne of iniquity" is meant iniquity in high places, wickedness enthroned upon the judgment seat, and thence delivering its unjust sentences. Oppressors in Israel made a large use of the machinery of the law to crush and ruin their victims (see Isaiah 1:23 ; Isaiah 10:1 , Isaiah 10:2 ; Amos 5:7 ; Amos 6:12 , etc.). Which frameth mischief by a law; i . e . which effects its mischievous purposes by means of the decrees of courts.
