Psalms 50:14-23

14“Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

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

16But to the wicked person, God says: “What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?

17You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.

18When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.

19You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

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

21When you did these things and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you. But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.

22“Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

23Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.”
