Psalms 50:16-23

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?

¹⁷And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

¹⁸When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.

¹⁹Thou lettest loose thy mouth with evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

²⁰Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; against thy own mother's son thou utterest slander.

²¹These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou didst ween that I am like thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thy eyes.”

²²Do but reflect on this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, with none to deliver.

²³Whoso offereth thanksgiving glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his course aright, will I show the salvation of God.
