Context of Psalms 50:20
18When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers. 19You let your mouth loose in evil And your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. 21These things you have done and I kept silence; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes. 22“Now consider this, you who forget God, Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother - To the general character of falsehood and slander there is now added the fact that they were guilty of this in the most aggravated manner conceivable - against their nearest relations, the members of their own families.
