The Fall of Corrupt Leaders
Multiple commentators see this verse as a prayer or prophecy that corrupt leaders (the "judges") will be removed from their high positions of power ("overthrown in stony places"). Scholars like Calvin and Barnes suggest that only after these misleading influences are gone can the common people be free to hear and accept the psalmist's words of truth and righteousness.
