Psalm 50:14–23

14 “Sacrifice thank offeringsh to God,

fulfill your vowsi to the Most High,j

15 and callk on me in the day of trouble;l

I will deliverm you, and you will honorn me.”

16 But to the wicked person, God says:

“What right have you to recite my laws

or take my covenanto on your lips?p

17 You hateq my instruction

and cast my words behindr you.

18 When you see a thief, you joins with him;

you throw in your lot with adulterers.t

19 You use your mouth for evil

and harness your tongue to deceit.u

20 You sit and testify against your brotherv

and slander your own mother’s son.

21 When you did these things and I kept silent,w

you thought I was exactlyc like you.

But I now arraignx you

and set my accusationsy before you.

22 “Consider this, you who forget God,z

or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:a

23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,

and to the blamelessd I will show my salvation.b”
