Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 94:20

"Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?" — Psalms 94:20 (ASV)

Throne of iniquity. —This is an apt expression for an oppressive and unjust government. The word rendered “iniquity” might mean “calamity” or “destruction” (Psalms 57:1, and compare to Psalms 91:3: noisome), but in Proverbs 10:3 it seems to mean “lawless desire,” which best suits this passage.

Have fellowship —i.e., be associated in the government. Could the theocracy admit to a share in it, not merely imperfect instruments of justice, but even those who perverted justice to evil ends?

Which frames mischief by a law? —i.e., making legislation a means of wrong. Others, however, render, “against the law.” But the former explanation best suits the next verse.
