Context of Psalms 50:23

21When you did these things, I was silent, so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you! 22Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you. Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.”

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 16-23Verses 16-23 Hypocrisy is wickedness, which God will judge.
