Psalms 58:2

2. Yea, in heart Here is the seat of all iniquity. They sinned, not from ignorance, but from disposition and intention.

Ye weigh Ironically spoken. They professed to use equity and truth as weights in the scale of justice, but instead, they weighed violence. On “weigh” see note on Psalms 78:50. The “violence of” their hands, is “violence” which they themselves have wrought out by using, in their administration, tricks and devices instead of the forms of justice.

In the earth In the land; that is, publicly in all the kingdom. What the “heart” secretly devised, the hands fabricated into plans and written decrees, which become public law.
