Psalms 58:2

Yea Or, Nay, for the particle implies a negative answer, and an additional accusation. Far from judging equitably, you are yourselves the greatest offenders.

in heart Inwardly they are ever contriving some scheme of injustice, like the nobles against whom Micah inveighs (Psalms 2:1), as "working evil upon their beds."

in the earth Or, in the land;publicly and openly, carrying into execution the schemes they contrive in their hearts. Cp. Micah 2:1.
