Psalms 50:15-22

¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

¹⁶But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

¹⁷since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

¹⁸When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

¹⁹“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

²⁰You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.

²¹You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

²²“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
