Context of Psalms 50:22
20You sit, speaking against your brother, slandering your own mother’s son. 21These things you have done— Should I keep silent? You thought I was just like you— but I reprove you, and set the case before your eyes. Now consider this, you who forget God. Or else I will tear you in pieces with no one to rescue you. 23A sacrifice of praise honors Me, and to the one who orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

Commentaries on Psalms 50:22
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22Now consider this - Ye have forgotten your God, and sinned against him. He has marked down all your iniquities, and has them in order to exhibit against you. Beware, therefore, lest he tear you to pieces, when there is none to deliver; for none can deliver you but the Christ you reject. And how can ye escape, if ye neglect so great a salvation?Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22Now consider this - Understand this; give attention to this. The word “now” does not well express the force of the original. The Hebrew word is not an adverb of “time,” but a particle denoting “entreaty,” and would be better rendered by, “Oh, consider this;” or, “Consider this, I beseech you.” The matter is presented to them as that which deserved their most solemn attention.

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