Context of Psalms 50:23

21You did all these things, and I said nothing. So you thought that I was as bad as you are. But now I am warning you! I will tell you clearly what you have done wrong. 22So think carefully about this, all you people who have turned away from me. If not, I will tear you into pieces, and nobody will be able to save you. If anyone wants to praise me, they should say “thank you” to me as their offering. If anyone obeys my commands, I will show them my power to save people.’

Commentaries on Psalms 50:23

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 23Whoso offereth praise - These are the very same words as those in Psalm 50:14, תודה זבח ; and should be read the same way independently of the points, zebach todah, "sacrifice the thank-offering."

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me - That is, he truly honors me; he is a true worshipper; he meets with my approbation.

And it is too common, for those who declare the Lord's statutes to others, to live in disobedience to them themselves. This delusion arises from the abuse of God's long-suffering, and a wilful mistake of his character and the intention of his gospel.
