Psalms 50:14-23

14Offer to God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows to the most High: 15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16But to the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18When thou sawest a thief, then thou didst consent with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.1 19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.2 20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother’s son. 21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 23Whoever offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conduct aright will I show the salvation of God.3
