Psalm 50:14–23
14 oOffer to God thanksgiving,
And ppay your vows to the Most High.
15 qCall upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,
17 rSeeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, you sconsented 3with him,
And have been a tpartaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil,
And uyour tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
21 These things you have done, and I kept silent;
vYou thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And wset them in order before your eyes.
22 “Now consider this, you who xforget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And yto him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
