Gill's Notes on the Bible

In whose hands [is] mischief,.... Every abominable wickedness; as idolatry, adultery, murder, c. the word signifies and is sometimes used for mischief conceived in the mind, artificially devised and contrived there here mischief committed, the hand being the instrument of action, and intends whatever is prejudicial to the person, character, and properties of men;

and their right hand is full of bribes; whereby the eyes of judges are blinded, the words of the righteous perverted, men's persons respected, and judgment wrested, Deuteronomy 16:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In whose hands is mischief - The word here rendered “mischief,” means properly “purpose, counsel, plan;” then, an evil purpose, “mischief, wickedness, crime.” The idea is, either that they intended to do mischief, and that they employed their hands to accomplish it, or that the fruit or result of their wicked plans was in their hands; that is, they had in their possession what they had secured by robbery, or plunder, or dishonesty.

And their right hand is full of bribes - Margin: “filled with.” The word here rendered “bribes” means properly “a gift,” or “present;” and then, a gift offered to a judge to procure an unjust sentence, 2 Kings 16:8; Proverbs 6:35; Exodus 23:8; Deuteronomy 10:17. The general meaning is that he did not desire to be associated either with men who openly committed crime, or with those who could be corrupted in the administration of justice.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 26:10. Their right hand is full of bribes — He speaks of persons in office, who took bribes to pervert judgment and justice.
